We enjoyed our stay at Martin’s place very much. First let me say the Location is perfect! The amazing Edinburgh Castle towers just above the apartment. The Apartment is just steps from the famous Grassmarket, Our absolutely favorite spot in Edinburgh. This area is full of Shops, Cafes, Restaurants and amazing original architecture mostly from the 1600’s and 1700’s. You are no more than 5 minutes from the base of Victoria Street, the curvy street which most see as the basis of many scenes in the Harry Potter series films. Very, very Cool!
Edinburgh is a city built on steep hills so be prepared to walk. But many bus lines are close by if you need a rest or the weather is uncooperative. The Royal Mile is just up the Hill.
Martin was generous in the “Goodies” he left for us. He must have done some shopping just before our arrival because fresh, unopened basic grocery items were there for us to enjoy. It made a big difference on that first day arriving hungry and tired. We found many basic food items The Apartment is Comfortable and Clean with a very functional Kitchen and Bathroom (with a deep Tub). Bed was super comfy. Great Heating. WiFi was fast and reliable. We greatly enjoyed our Stay at Martin’s Place and highly recommend it.
