Rachel’s place is super central and convenient as a tourist to visit the main sites around central Edinburgh. With the new tramway, it is also very easily accessible from the airport ( a 45 minute ride and 5 minute walk)-couldn’t ask for better than that. We found that it was actually more spacious than we were expecting from the photos (plenty of room for 5 if needed).
Rachel was there to show us around, and the apartment provided great tourist information including maps and several guide books. The apartment is upstairs as it says in the description, so wouldn’t be a fit for someone with accessibility needs, but then a lot of Edinburgh is also up and down stairs in general, so just worth some consideration. It provided no challenges for us and was well worth it to be in such a central yet quiet and safe location.
There are great restaurants nearby, and you are also close to the playhouse (theatre) and movie theatre.
The apartment was beautifully cleaned, with special touches throughout (in our case Rachel brought us some mince pies for festive season). We did struggle a little with the heating settings, and should have asked for help sooner (might be worth making sure to understand thoroughly on arrival).
We would thoroughly recommend Rachel’s apartment.
