Grace is an exceptional hostess: warm, accommodating, friendly and really clear with communications. The place itself is very comfortable, decorated with nice touches of color on the walls and the furnishings. The kitchen is super well appointed. This would be perfect for a small family, or even two couples. Exceptionally clean and nice. Guests should not be put off by the stark appearance of the common stairwell, I think it is fairly typical for an older building in Edinburgh - once you enter the apartment, you will be delighted with everything. The quiet is very nice! BTW, you can walk to the Royal Botanic Gardens from here in about 25 minutes. Easy enough to access buses from here, or use Uber.
