The apartment matched what we expected for an inner city apartment. We were very pleased with the apartment and the excellent central location--great for wandering around Edinburgh including walking to Arthur's Seat, Royal Mile, and even down to the coast. The apartment had all the things our family of 6 needed for a week in the city. Parking is the only thing that could be a bit complicated/costly, but since we did many day trips and were there over a weekend it worked out fine for our rental van. It is right on the Meadows, a large city park. Linda was a great host replying promptly to all our questions before we arrived and while there.
