“Communication was excellent throughout. The team send a link to an excellent guidebook for the apartments well in advance, which helps with preparations. There was an option to store bags in a locked area free of charge both before check-in and after check-out, which made those days much more pleasant.”

Na & FriendsYork Place Apartments - September 2025

“We had a fantastic stay at this apartment in Edinburgh! The place was spotlessly clean and had everything we needed, including a fully equipped kitchen. With two comfortable bedrooms, it easily accommodated any group of four.
The location was great — about a 20-minute walk or a quick 5-minute Uber ride to major attractions. The neighborhood was quiet, yet conveniently lined with plenty of restaurants and shops just steps away.
We truly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend this apartment to anyone visiting Edinburgh!”

The Pearson FamilyYork Place Apartments - June 2025

“Spent 2 nights at Southside Apartments by Destination with 8 adults and 2 kids. We booked 2 units and it was perfect for big groups! The apartment is spacious and well equipped with everything we need – from kitchen to laundry, hairdryer etc. The beds were massive and extremely comfortable for a good night sleep. Great value for money and exceeded expectations for the price.

There are also plenty of grocers and restaurants along the street within walking distance. Highly recommended!”
