I loved this flat. It was chilly, but it is beautifully light and full of art. Kings is gross backstage, so it was great to be so close to the theatre. Karen &her cat are quiet but friendly so this is a wonderful, cool & calm island above the melee

Karen's flat was really lovely, and it is literally around the corner from the King's Theatre, so really a perfect location!

Apartment feels connected to the heart of the wonderful city, rich of character with sweeping views of frosty parkland and castle tops, I left with heavy heart.
Perfect choice for the stair-capable aesthete.

24th Sep 2018
This is indeed a lovely sunny flat. I stayed in the ‘small’ double it wasn’t dark enough though as there is glass above the door so take an eye mask. The bed is quite low down too more like a futon. It was good for one week and in a lovely location.
16th Jul 2018
Great digs! I wish I could have stayed longer! I would just mention for perhaps some older guests or people with mobility issues that it’s a the third floor walk up. It didn’t worry me though and I’m old !!
2nd Jun 2018
One of the absolute nicest digs I’ve stayed with on tour, and a big part of one of the nicest weeks we’ve had. Location is INCREDIBLE and the flat is beyond beautiful. Pictures don’t do it justice. Can’t recommend enough
26th May 2018

I thought I had reviewed Dale - can't work this site out, but in case not, he was polite, considerate and tidy. would recommend him as a guest.
Really nice stay with Karen, the large double room is very clean and comfortable and has a lovely view over the meadows. Perfect for the Kings Theatre as literally a 2 mins walk away with lots of nice cafes etc very close by. Highly recommend!

5th Dec 2016
Chris was a very good guest- quiet, tidy and easy to have around. The cat liked him too!
Karen's flat is wonderful and it's only a 2-min walk to the Kings! The large-double looks out over the meadows - beautiful at this time of year. Towels are provided and the whole flat was warm and cosy. Would definitely stay again! Thanks Karen!

A lovely room and very close to the theatre (2 mins). I will stay again.

13th Oct 2016
Wonderful views from this high windowed large flat. Futon bed was obviously low to the ground but comfortable. The flat is so close to The Kings Theatre I would highly recommend this place to anyone.
23rd May 2016
Really great top floor flat with beautiful views of Edinburgh. Beautiful interior with a nice unique quirk to it. Would definitely stay again. (Also very friendly cat!)

Thanks for the beautiful sunny flat Karen! Hopefully we'll see you next year when we come again.
3rd Apr 2016
Great to meet you - you are welcome any time!
Karen was very welcoming and was very accommodating of my odd working hours. Being the third venue on the tour, I did not spend much time at Karen's flat, but the time I did allowed me to rest and relax, with a lovely view over the Meadows.
13th Mar 2016
A perfect stay in Karen's beautiful home.
From the peace and quiet of the flat, its central location and with ease of use of shared facilities, these digs could hardly be bettered.
Can't wait to return!
4th Oct 2015
If I could, I'd pack up these digs and travel round with them...lovely host and cat in a beautiful flat that was literally round the corner from the King's theatre.
Got upgraded to the big double room and it was perfect. Would highly recommend this place!
Thanks for having me, Karen.
13th Jul 2015
Amazing! Loved staying in Karen's flat... Karen is wonderful, and my room (the large double) was perfect.
I was at the Playhouse which was about a 25 min walk away, but a lovely walk through the meadows past the castle and past some of the best coffee haunts in the city!
Highly, highly recommend booking and will do so again if returning to Edinburgh.
10th May 2015
Stayed in the large double room which was fantastic.
A gorgeous, classic Edinburgh flat with high ceilings. The bedroom has shutters opening out onto the Meadows which are absolutely beautiful.
The room is spacious with a fantastically comfortable bed and an extra day-bed/sofa, plus desk, chest of drawers and wardrobe.
Karen is a friendly and unobtrusive host.
Highly recommended.
31st Mar 2015
Beautiful sunny flat, with a nice room and comfy bed.
Big windows with a lovely view of the meadows. Only 20mins walk from the town Centre.
I never actually met Karen as she was away, but her cat was very welcoming :)
29th Mar 2015
Lovely room in a beautiful apartment, two minute walk to The Kings Theatre.
1st Mar 2015
Firebrand Theatre have had cast members stay with Karen on two occasions now and both have been delighted with their accommodation - so much so that we intend on booking here whenever we tour to Edinburgh.
7th Jan 2015
The month spent in Karen's flat was a happy one. It is tastefully presented, has a homely feel and is sufficiently spacious for you not to hear every sound the other person makes.
The kitchen is well equipped, the high ceilings make the room feel light and airy and the bed was very comfortable.
Karen is an excellent host, achieving warmth and friendliness while allowing you your own space and being comfortable saying nothing if there's nothing to be said!
She is quite easy going, and the 'rules of the house' (such as they are) she is able to convey in a diplomatic way, so you know where you stand and can be confident that if something's an issue, she'll let you know.
Close to shops, 20 minute walk to the centre, park on the doorstep, hooks in the hall to hang your bike and a friendly pussycat ... I'd come again!
2nd Jan 2015
A wonderful stay in a beautiful home.
10th Nov 2014
The room is beautiful and this is an excellent location to stay in Edinburgh.
