Great location, with a LOT of nearby shops and restaurants. Marc provided some amazing food options within a few blocks. One of them (Fieldwork) had absolutely amazing porridge. 5-night stay....4 visits for porridge. Lots of local food shops for a quick item, and a very nice 15-minute walk to a full-service Marks & Spencer. Walk through the park below the castle....and come up through the cemetery.
The apartment itself has very nice amenities....good wifi, nice TV's, comfortable beds, good water pressure. The flat is stocked with the basics, so you don't have to buy annoying items like salt, pepper, sugar, coffee, tea, coffee filters, etc. Plenty of pots, pans, dishes, glasses.....to cook a meal. With all of the items mentioned its possible to have a place feel cluttered....not so, it was organized and logical. Super clean.
Everything in "downtown" Edinburgh is walkable. We would definitely stay here again if we're heading back to Edinburgh.
