We stayed in Jamaica Lane with a family of 5. It was a perfect location and house for our needs. Nice quiet area, easy walk to the centre with small kids. Free parking in secure garage. Everything you need for a wee stay such as condiments, shampoo, fairy liquid etc. Would absolutely recommend and stay again!

We had a short 4 day break away planned for last year (2020) but for obvious reasons it had to be cancelled. I managed to book the same location, Circus Lane in Edinburgh for this year. Contact was good with the Greatbase team and on the day we were due to arrive I had to phone them to say that we were going to be late due to train problems (another story) and it was no problem whatsoever, we simply arranged a new time to meet to be let in and shown around our apartment. The place was lovely with everything that we required for our stay. We like to walk and walked everywhere apart from the day

Katie and team were a great team and supportive in every way possible. It was lovely to come into a house which was comfortable, clean and cosy. I liked the messy garage as it made the place feel homely! It was also great to have milk, tea, coffee, salt, pepper and oil in the kitchen. I would certainly stay in Jamaica Lane again.

Our stay in Circus Lane was ideal.
We have stayed in many self catering properties
and this one certainly rates in the top three.
Everything you needed to make your stay comfortable.
We were met on arrival and shown where everything was.
Many thanks for the flowers, lovely touch.
Property was spotless and bed very comfortable .
En suite shower superb.
Situated within a few minutes walk to the shops and
restaurants and walks along the river. Not far from the Botanical
Gardens.
Frequent buses if needed.
Thank you Great Base, would not hesitate to recommend to family
and friends.

The name says it all, this is a Great Base for exploring Edinburgh. Located in a quiet, residential neighborhood, this well appointed and very clean apartment is close enough to walk to all the major sites and the city center. Its close to several bus stops and the quaint locals pub, the St. Vincent. Would highly recommend this for families traveling in the city, or couples/small groups as a comfortable and pleasant apartment that lets you live like a local even if only for a short period.

We had a wonderful experience with our flat on Cumberland Street. It was clean, spacious and comfortable for our family of 5. The neighborhood was quiet and getting to the older part of town was not an unreasonable walk. There are two very close grocery stores and we were able to make some of our own meals.

We stayed at Cumberland Street in Edinburgh, in a flat for 5 people. It was a beautiful apartment, very charming, about 10 minutes walk to Princes Street.
we appreciated the fact that useful items were provided and sufficient : towels, kitchen tools, hairdryer, shampoo and soap, toilet paper...The appartment was also very clean and the beds comfortable.
we also appreciated the welcome gifts (biscuits, apples).
We would definitely recommend this location.
Not to forget also that the person who welcomed us was very professional and gave us useful advice.
