The apartment's living area is a beautiful, sunlit, wood panelled room with five tall sash windows looking over the Royal Mile near to the Castle entrance. It is supremely comfortable and welcoming. The bathroom is clean and well equipped with a drench shower. The kitchen is well equipped with generous amounts of food and ingredients for guests to use. There are bottles of wine, spirits and nuts and crisps left out on an honesty box basis. We just replaced the things we used and left some cash to cover incidentals. The bed is unique in that it is an enclosed panelled sleeping area within the apartment! Lovely! The apartment was very clean and an absolutely lovely place to relax after a hectic day (or night) out at the Fringe. There are loads of pubs, cafes and restaurants near by and Calim sends you a good guide to some of the best. If you want to do self catering then you'll need to go over to New Town which is where the nearest supermarkets are, about 15-2O minutes walk each way. But Calim leaves bread, butter, eggs, muesli, juice, coffee, tea and milk in the apartment. Main question - would we stay here again. Emphatic 'yes'!
