This apartment looks exactly like the pictures, which is to say amazing! What a wonderful place to stay while visiting this fantastic city! The apartment was spotless and the spacious living room is the perfect place to unwind with a whisky after a long day of exploring Edinburgh. Having 2 bathrooms was a nice amenity when traveling with a child. There is a Sainsbury's local about a 5 minute walk away and a couple of Boots pharmacies nearby with a larger M&S market on Princes Street. It may be a bit too long of a walk to Old Town from the apartment (especially for younger kids), but there are several public transportation options available nearby, including the tram, to get you closer. Take a nice stroll through Dean Village behind the apartment, it's a lovely quite walk along the river. We didn't have any issues with the master bed, as we use firm mattresses at home. We would definitely recommend Karen's apartment!
