Great stay! Perfect location right off the Royal Mile. Apartment was beautiful and had great personality. The restaurant next door (Larder) was a fantastic way to start the day. I loved how well the automated access actually worked.

10/10

The flat was beautiful! It had everything i needed. It was so spacious and I loved the way the sun would come in through the ornate windows in the morning. It was perfectly centrally located. Close to everything. I only wish i had been staying in Edinburgh longer to enjoy the flat even more.

Another fantastic stay at the Blackfriars lofts This was our second time spending Christmas here and it was just so perfect! Beautiful apartment with a kitchen and everything needed to make up a lovely Christmas lunch! So clean and literally just off the Royal Mile.

Really lovely space & location. Even though the festival was in mid flow, the road is relatively quiet and we were not disturbed. No microwave & mezzanine bed a little warm in summer, but otherwise perfect!
4-night trip

8/10

Great convenience and nice apartment. It was very noisy above us and also on the street
2-night trip

10/10

Awesome location. Close to dozens of good restaurants and bars. Enjoyed the size of the room because everyone had their own space to relax and unwind. The area felt very secure and easy walking distance from most inner city attractions. I will use Linton again on our next Edinburgh vacation
6-night trip

Safe, clean, well appointed accommodations, very centrally located in the Old Town. Our family enjoyed our stay here and how easy it was to see Edinburgh.

Fantastic location and space!
3-night trip

10/10

Although I am not a fan of properties with no on site staff, this one worked out. Not having access to email, I was able to call and get the information needed to check in. The man I spoke with was professional, understanding and helpful. The place itself is terrific-immaculately clean, spacious and very comfortable with an onsite kitchen (only for small meal preparation) with an espresso machine, dishwasher and, most importantly, a washer/dryer which took a little time to figure out. Close to Waverly train station on a quiet block. Highly recommend.
4-night trip

8/10

Great location, clean , good shower. Only downside was the sofa bed was uncomfortable . Would stay there again.
4-night trip

10/10

We had a long weekend here in December and the apartment was beautiful, full of character, clean & comfy. Close enough to be a minutes walk from the center, but far enough away to not have any noise from the main drag. Would definitely stay again.
