Very good location and ease of access to shops, entertainment and transport to city centre. We had a car but could manage without one if needed. Lots of walks and eating places within close proximity of apartment.

A spacious apartment. Very convenient for the tram. The Water of Leith walk to the Botanical Gardens and also into Edinburgh provided a quiet, pleasant walk away from the hustle and bustle of city life.

We knew this location as have stayed in the vicinity on numerous occasions. It is quiet and transport links are good. One can in any case walk to pubs or restaurants and shops. The flat is comfortable and not expensive given the inflated market of now.

Ocean View is a perfect base for exploring Edinburgh and it's surrounds without a car. The tram stops two minutes away and public transport is easy. We got out to The Kelpies by train and South Queensferry for a boat trip very easily. Day trip to Glasgow too. Local Sainsbury's and plenty of eateries nearby too.

The three of us had a great stay at this property. We all thought it was in a lovely quiet location with great views towards the port and it was so handy for getting into Edinburgh and the festival via the nearby and regular tram service. We also enjoyed the shops, pubs and cafes close to the property.

I would recommend. It was an affordable price during the festival in August. The tram stop was a short walk from the property so it was easy to get to town so we could drink. It was a 5 min walk from 2 Michelin star restaurants and loads of other good food places. It was quiet and it was really clean and well equipped. There were just a few issues Read more- be careful of the door to the big bathroom, be careful of the temperature of the en-suite shower and there is no caretaker (just use the keys). Hide

Great location with tram stop outside property allowing fantastic access into the city centre. Apartment is clean and equipped. Beds were not comfy, seems like mattresses need a replacement. Joining instructions need to be updated as it states someone will meet you and show you around including how the different keys work, this is not the case, howRead moreever, the keys are not complicated once you find the correct parking door for the block.

Would happily recommend and return. Flat was clean and well equipped. Car parking secure and easy to access via lift. Lots of places to eat in the local area and easy access into Edinburgh via excellent local bus services. Ocean Terminal was an easy 10 minute walk. The installation of trams is causing disruption in the immediate area and on the rouRead morete into Edinburgh, the owner had warned us about this prior to our stay, its not pretty but will be great once completed Hide
