What a fabulous place in the perfect location in Old Town! If you want to be right in the middle of everything there is to do in Edinburgh, this is it. Unless it's pouring down with torrential rain, you really never need take a bus or taxi as everything's incredibly walkable. One first concern I had when renting this apartment for a month was the noise - not a problem whatsoever. As it's a building set back behind the street level buildings, the noise is almost completely blanketed making it most entirely quiet at night. While the windows/light situation may be took dark for some, the time when I visited (October-November) it was just the perfect level of coziness and shelter from the wind and rain.

All the amenities one could need including kitchen utensils, toaster, hot water heater, and although there is a washer but no dryer, if you, like me, bring around a travel clothes line, it's perfect to set up in front of the living room heater, and there's even a warming rack in the bathroom which works as well. The bed is unbelievably comfortable - I never wanted to leave it, and there are so many seating options and places to lounge. All in all, this is a perfect way to experience living in the heart of Edinburgh and all it has to offer.
