This was my third stay and Edinburgh and the most fantastic. The only thing missing was my partner (we usually travel together) partly because there is an essential sense of romance to this setting. Being able to see one of Old Edinburgh's historic house across the courtyard, to easily ramble among other historic landmarks, to go down the steps to see the Christmas lights for the just-opened Christmas festival - this was all magical. Being a historian, I was surrounded by what, for me, is essential Edinburgh. I should add that the management could not have been better. Every question was answered immediately and everything I needed was in the flat - and more. Again, this trip will be a favorite memory.
