A characterful, beautifully appointed and clean apartment in a popular area of Edinburgh that is within 15 minutes’ walk of the city centre. Its pièce de résistance is a stunning view of the castle which Amanda (the host) utilizes to the full by placing a dining table in the window, enabling guests to see the castle in differing lights and to watch the hustle and bustle of Grassmarket below. Apartment facilities are excellent, with a comprehensive kitchen area and a quiet bedroom at the rear. For the self-caterer, there are several food shops in the street below or you can you try the many restaurants that are available to suit every taste. Petit Paris on the opposite side of Grassmarket is a particular gem. We enjoyed our visit thoroughly and highly recommend this property to others.
