Apartamento Struthers por National Trust Escocia

It was an adventure! Happy we had the experience but would not return Positive: The apartment itself was lovely. Very clean and comfortable. Loved the historic aspects of it. Getting the codes to get into the building was confusing but the staff was very helpful. Negative: Getting up into the apartment with luggage was incredibly difficult. There is a very narrow staircase from the sidewalk to the door, and then 4 flights of a VERY narrow spiral staircase to get to the 4th floor apartment. The other floors are part of a museum and sometimes there were other people on the stairs. This is only for the very able bodied with very small bags. We are fit, but we had medium size suitcases and it was close to impossible to navigate the stairs. The other issue was that there is construction on the street below that starts at 7 am.

Lovely place. Would recommend and would stay again Positive: location was excellent, apartment was beautifully furnished, clean, and comfortable for our party of four. Negative: nothing. apartment was perfect.

Loved being so close to everything on the Royal Mile. Positive: Best central location very close to Edinburgh Castle right on the Royal Mile. Comfy historical apartment. 2 single beds and a queen bed. Fully equipped kitchenette. Free scoop of ice cream at the shoppe downstairs. The staff is friendly and helpful. A bit pricey, but sleeps up to 4 people. You will love this location for touring the Royal mile. Uber pickup spot is the Deacon Brodie’s Tavern at Lawnmarket X Bank Street. Negative: It is a penthouse. So you have to walk up 5 flights of a steep spiral stone staircase. No elevator.

Really special property Positive: Great location Negative: Road up outside

Stepping back in time, climbing to an almost attic apartment more than 400 years old, right on the Royal Mile Positive: Staying in a renovated 400 year old apartment. Being on the Royal Mile and hearing the revellers on the street just like Mr Struthers in 1632. Climbing up the steep narrow spiral staircase, many floors up. Hard to carry up luggage but all part of the experience. Delicious complimentary ice cream included for guests in the downstairs cafe. Free tour of National Trust apartments on lower floors, period furnishings. Fascinating. Negative: Would be good if there was access to a washing machine maybe downstairs
