We loved this lively city of Edinburgh and staying at Barbara's apartment. The location was great for us as it's centrally located between the park and breathtaking hikes, and walking the Royal mile. There are many restaurants and coffee houses along the way (the food in Edinburgh is amazing). There is a place to pick up provisions right on the corner as well if you should choose to cook in. The apartment is also well stocked for this providing pots, cutlery, and utensils, plenty of plates and glasses, and washing soap.
This is great space for a larger group in the apartment, the beds are comfortable, the linens are nice and new, and this apartment is beautifully decorated. We loved the kitchen updates! The pictures are current and accurate. I do need to mention as another reviewer has the bathroom is quite small for a larger group and the only area in the apartment not updated, which for us was fine as we went in and out fast. Also the bedroom doors are on a loaded spring which automatically keeps them closed. I only mention because I've never stayed in a place that has this and our kids are older so they did not necessarily need the doors open however when we wanted them open we just propped our suitcases in front of them.
Barbara was prompt and precise with all check in information and communication with her was very easy. Thank you Barbara!
