Steven's apartment in Edinburgh is outstanding. It could not be more convenient to the primary historic sites, restaurants, transportation, etc. The Royal Mile is literally at the back door. Princes Street, shops, tour buses, etc are just down the hill. The view from the apartment is beautiful. There are stairs to climb, since the apartment is on an upper floor, but the views are worth it and it is not so high as some of the other buildings nearby. Check in was very easy with John. He offered tips and made sure we were comfortable with how everything in the apartment worked. Steven is very communicative and helpful. If you are coming from the airport, the tram is an easy and less costly option to get to the apartment. It is uphill from the tram station, but it is not far and everything in Edinburgh features hills!
