Apartment holiday rentals in Leith

We loved staying at Rachael’s place! Gorgeous space, easy bus to get into the city center within a five minute walk. Rachael was an amazing host — quick responses, clear instructions, super helpful! Can’t recommend her and the place enough. We’d love to come back next time we’re in Edinburgh!!

Absolutely loved this delightful garden flat, beautifully decorated and in such a peaceful location, with easy access to public transport and free on street parking. Will definitely book again.

A very enjoyable stay. The apartment is large and full of character. Teresa was helpful with information and responded quickly to any enquiry. We appreciated the breakfast hamper and milk. There is off road parking if you are bringing your car to Edinburgh and a bus stop nearby that is on the line directly into the centre of the city.

Overall great stay. Very clean and just as advertised. Only issue was there no hot water upon our arrival. Reached out to Neil who sent his guy to rectify and he also gave us local dinning options. Would definitely stay again next trip to Edinburgh.

We actually stayed at Michelle's place for four months and it was a great home away from home. Check in went smoothly and her instructions were super clear. Any time there was a problem she responded very quickly and got the problem solved immediately. Great shower with nice body wash, shampoo, conditioner. Updated kitchen with all the appliances you could need. We only had to buy small things like paper towels, sandwich bags, garbage bags, etc. Comfy bed and overall comfortable stay. Big dresser and huge closets for all our things. Washer/dryer in the apt was a must and it was great. There's a clothes drying rack as well. Location was lovely and we enjoyed being so close to everything, we walked all over. 10 minutes to Calton Hill, 30 to the Royal Mile, 20 to St James quarter. Also maybe only a 5 minute walk to the tram stop which can take you all the way to New Haven or the Edinburgh Airport with lots of stops along the way both ways. Close to bus stops as well.

Great place to stay for a few nights. Perfect location, lots of restaurants and cafes around.

Fiona and Neil were excellent at responding to any of our questions or concerns. We had questions before we left which were all answered promptly. While at the house we had some simple issues which needed a solution and Fiona was always very quick to reply to help us with both photos and further information to help us solve everything. The place was gorgeous and I would live there full time if I could :). There was a Tesco (very well stocked) a 2-5 minute walk away and lots of shops around as well. Very close to a tram stop which would take you straight in to the city or down to the marina very quickly and easily. Loved staying here and would definitely stay again.

Loved staying here and would highly recommend it. Jean was a fantastic host and communicated in a friendly and warm manner, and our apt was comfortable and clean. Great location, close to the tram, walkable to bus stops and many sites!

I arrived at the flat after 10pm and so was especially grateful for crystal clear and easy instructions for access. The stairs are a bit of a hike for anyone not used to living in a walk up, but I’m a not especially athletic 66 and was fine even with my carry-on suitcase & large backpack. The place gets 5 stars from me for the super-responsive, pleasant, and helpful host and the lovely residential but fun neighborhood, perfect for the working traveller who prefers local charm. Breakfast at Romina & a leisurely cappuccino with my iPad at Books ‘n Cups was the ideal way to start a day when I did not have to be anywhere until late morning. I made a venison steak for dinner just so I could feel a little local by patronizing the charming butcher shop around the coroner from the flat. A couple of local bars (side by side) stay open until “late.” There’s a range of ethnic & other restaurants, & several book shops, including Rare Birds, which specializes in women authors (get the name?).

Amazing location, superb superb apartment Close to all the attractions Beautiful view of the Edinburgh castle from the windows Very very helpful host, alway available for our smallest queries. We are definitely coming back Thanks again

This was a lovely stay. Our host was thoughtful in setting up the space and added little things that made our trip easy like laundry soap, fresh ground coffee, large towels set out in each guest room. It was definitely luxury and we felt very welcome in her home. Just far enough away to be quiet and spacious while still making the city accessible we walked everywhere except dinner out one evening.

This was the best Airbnb I have ever stayed in. I can not recommend it higher and I will cherish the memories forever

Hidden gem. Surprisingly quiet and peaceful, being situated in the middle of the park (yet still in town). Lovely home, spacious. Host is super responsive to questions. Easy walk to a pub for some great food and drinks.

This was my favourite stay on Airbnb so far. Mark was an incredible host, with great communication, clear instructions and generosity with everything (we made full use of the Nespresso machine 😂). The flat itself was beautiful, very nicely decorated. you can tell just from looking at it that a lot of thought and effort went into it, has a lot of personality, and quite clear that mark uses it himself as well. would definitely recommend to anyone who doesn't mind the slightly higher price and a few flights of stairs :)

8 of us stayed for one night. Easy to find and access, spacious enough for all of us. Comfortable beds, plenty hot water, brilliant shower. Accommodating host, terrific and quick communication with Axel. Would definitely stay again. Thank you. Axel!

Nice and quiet getaway from the city without being too far. It looks exactly like the listing, and the host was very responsive and helpful.

The info provided was great - didn’t need to ask a thing. Handy location, lovely flat and Ollie was so friendly.

I spent nearly four months in Wendy's accommodation. I had a great time there! The apartment itself offers great views, and the room is very comfortable. It is easily accessible by bus and has a good connection to the city centre and main University Campus, as well as being close to a big supermarket and the beach. Being on the outskirts of the city and by the sea, it made it very easy to find peace, walking along the beach or visiting my personal favourite place, Newhailes Estate. For those coming to study here: the bus connection to the University of Edinburgh's King's Buildings is not great, especially on the way back, and if you'll have to be there a lot I'd recommend getting a bicycle, which is about twice as fast. Wendy is a very friendly host, who is usually not home during the day but if you run into her and she has time she will be open for a chat - for example sharing stories or music. She loves baking, and might leave something she made in the fridge for you!

Was a good place and close to restaurants and the station. Had come for a conference and was very easy to commute to the international centre. Very reasonable prices as well! We had a good time. Thank you

Hi Wendy Would just love to say thanks so much for be soo nice and wonderful. You have a heart of gold and we enjoyed staying . We felt so welcomed x thanks for the recommendation of king Mary close , it was fantastic and so intriguing
