This convenient, well designed and comfortable apartment is everything we needed as a pied-a-terre in Edinburgh. Comfy bed, well-designed kitchen and best of all, a washing machine, so we didn't have to bring all the clothes we owned. We did two small loads, which we dried on the provided clothes rack, and sometimes, carefully monitored, on the towel heater in the bathroom. Super helpful! Pier provided nice welcoming touches, like an espresso pod machine and a pair of umbrellas. The couch is comfy for collapsing on at the end of an active day. We found the distance, about a mile and a half, to the bottom of the High Street, to be easily walkable. There are several grocery stores on Easter Street as you pass by. Entry was a little tricky, with a key inside a lockbox and then a code for the apartment door, and the building entryway is like something from Sweeney Todd - so grim and dank - but don't give up, just let yourself in to this sweet little hideaway!
