Self Contained Accom
It's a one bedroom NO SMOKING flat, 3 floors up, no lift.
The spacious bedroom has a double bed and a sofa bed in the living room
In the living-room/kitchen there's a dining table, sofa, chairs and all the kitchen stuff you'd need including microwave. No TV
The shower room is fairly new and I'd advise opening the window when having a shower to let steam out. Don't splash too much please, in case the water goes to the flat below.
All the towels and sheets are kept in the hall cupboard and drawer in shower room. There's no access to the box room.
The blinds in both rooms need extra TLC.
It's a quiet cul-de-sac and quiet stair so I'd like you to be considerate of my lovely friendly neighbours when coming up and down the stairs.
There's no free parking nearby (I don't use a car) but there is a good bus service around the corner. Buses or 7 minutes walk downhill to King's Theatre, -15 minutes to Lyceum, Traverse and West End. 25 minutes walk across the massive green space on Bruntsfield Links and the Meadows to the Festival Theatre

I had an excellent stay! Would absolutely return to this lovely apartment

Many thanks Eddie. See you again in the future
Dorothy was a wonderful host, and I felt very much at home in the flat for my 4 week stay. It was a quiet building and I felt really safe staying there alone. The flat was well equipped with pretty much everything you could need, though it did feel like a TV in the lounge would be a welcome addition for guests. I chose to walk through the Meadows during the day to get to the Festival Theatre and then walk back via Tollcross at night or get a bus. Everything you could need is on your doorstep!

Thank you Wendy. I appreciate your review. Come again!
Dorothy’s flat was perfect for my stay in Edinburgh. Excellent location within reasonable walking distance to attractions but also on great bus route into centre. The local area is dotted with lovely independent shops and cute bistros and restaurants. The meadows just across the road. The flat was exactly as described, Dorothy was quick to respond to any questions I had. My one issue was the mattress was not that comfortable for my back, otherwise an excellent base for a stay in the city.

Really lovely place to stay when in Edinburgh. Short bus ride away and great area.
21st Oct 2024
Thanks for the great review
Lovely apartment in a great area of Edinburgh. Quite dated & ‘lived in’ but very comfortable. Bed not so, unfortunately - quite an old, springy mattress. Good bus links to Playhouse and plenty of great coffee shops, bars, independent shops & restaurants on the doorstep. Amazing views from the third floor to the Forth.

Thanks for the review. Sorry you found the mattress uncomfortable. Time for a new one I think.
Dorothy's place was great. Wonderful location. We enjoyed our stay there; and she was very helpful and communicative.
19th Aug 2024
Many thanks Ray, I'm glad everything worked out in the end and I hope all the shows went well. Thanks for leaving the place looking good.
My second stay at Dorothy’s - again it was LOVELY. It’s a great location, a lovely clean flat and there’s everything you could need. Dorothy is great at communicating during the stay if needs be - thank you so much for letting me stay!
15th Jul 2024
You're very welcome. All the very best for your future
Dorothy's flat is super cosy, fully equipped and felt homely right away. The view on Firth of Forth is outstanding. The flat was bigger than I expected. The area is nice and quiet at night, it is surrounded by greenery and short walks to everything I needed for my stay. I would definitely recommend and stay again.

Thank you Aga. Come again!
I had the loveliest stay in Dorothy’s charming flat. Comfortable and cosy, safe and easy walk to the Theatre. Thoroughly enjoyed my stay. Thank you.
20th May 2024
Thank you Charlotte. And thanks for leaving the place so neat and tidy. Come again!
A lovely top floor flat, just the other side of the meadows. It is a walk from the Playhouse but honestly, who doesn't want to walk in Edinburgh. I cycled so it was very easy. Week rate is very good for Edinburgh so 100% worth it. Even though Dorothy was away, they were only a message away if anything was needed. Such a nice stay. Thank you!
20th Feb 2024
Thank you Sam. Do come again when you're next in Edinburgh. It might be free during this year's festival but for a bit more £!!!
A lovely flat in a great area. Dorothy is really kind and helpful.
18th Feb 2024
Thank you Rebecca. Do come back again
I had the most wonderful time at Dorothy’s - clean, warm, homely and such a fabulous location. I’d absolutely come and stay again!
3rd Jan 2024
Thanks Charlotte. Please come again!
Wonderful apartment, in an even better location. Had a lovely time, and will definitely be visiting again. Had everything I could possibly need. Thank you Dorothy for a great stay.

Great place to stay! Really clean and tidy! Perfect!
21st Sep 2023
A great place to stay, enjoyed my time there.
17th Aug 2023
Thanks Richard. All the best
I will never stay anywhere else in Edinburgh again! Lots of room for two to share as well - I stayed alone but almost wish someone had taken the sofa bed as the flat could easily be shared with a friend! Gorgeous area, beautiful flat
3rd Jul 2023
This flat was gorgeous. I loved staying here. It is a 40 min walk to the playhouse theatre, which I knew in advance, but it's a beautiful walk through the meadows. Great to have such a quiet relaxing place to go back to. I'd love to return!
17th May 2023
Thank you for leaving such a nice review You'll be welcome back if you return and dates fit with me
Good size flat and easy walk to and from the festival theatre. Friendly host. Shower curtain stuck to me every time I showered and the bed could do with being replaced as wasn't very comfy and the metal frame is creaky and woke me up every night.
3rd May 2023
Very comfy . Very very quiet so slept like a log every night . No tv but fine if you have a laptop / iPad etc . Washing machine so was able to do a full wash hand dry on the clever drying hanger above the sofa

Thank you for having me with little Eden, we loved our time there.
12th Aug 2022
Fantastic little apartment, perfect for the Kings Theatre, in a relaxed part of town. Had a great stay here. Four stars for accuracy as it was bigger than I expected! Many thanks. Tom
10th May 2022
Many thanks Tom. Come again!
Great self-contained flat for a brief stay in Edinburgh. Lovely springtime walk across the meadows to the Festival Theatre. I didn’t get to meet Dorothy in person, but all communication was swift, efficient and helpful. Recommended.
4th May 2022
Perfect location for the King's Theatre and all local amenities. The flat has everything you need for your stay. Dorothy was very accommodating with check in times and very helpful. Would recommend and stay again next time i'm in Edinburgh. Thank you

Excellent digs. Easy 10 minute walk to the Kings. Gorgeous view and had absolutely everything I needed for the week!
28th Feb 2022
Thanks Jordan. So pleased you liked the digs
Lovely place, short walk away from Kings theatre, lovely few over the city. Shower does fill up quickly, so don't plan on having long showers, but perfect apart from that.
13th Nov 2021
Thanks for the heads up. I'll get that sorted!
A lovely flat with a gorgeous view. Extremely comfortable and within an easy walk to the Kings. Everything you could want in a self contained flat.
