The neighborhood seemed a bit sketchy but we were never out too late at night so we felt safe! The apartment was very nice on the inside and was perfect for 3 people with plenty of room to stretch out and move around! My grandfather did not feel well after the long flight into Edinburgh from Canada and Yvonne was kind enough to let him sit in the apartment while she finished cleaning up, that was much appreciated. It was very easy to get to many attractions from the apartment via a very quick bus ride or a cheap taxi ride!
