We were fortunate enough to stay at this flat for five days in February. The location is unimprovable - it is in the Old Town with everything to hand, and just a short walk down the hill to the New Town. You can easily walk everywhere, including to and from the train station, if that’s how you are arriving. If you look on a map you might think the flat would be noisy, but it isn’t, at all. It is on a very busy street, but you pop twenty feet down the close into another world, very quiet and private, but also very safe. The apartment itself is very well equipped and comfortable. The bed in the huge bedroom is luxuriously soft, and looking up at the hand-painted ceiling is really something. I wish we’d had time to do the historical tour that is available to learn more about it, but we ran out of time. The pictures don’t really do it justice. The things you don’t see in the pictures - the shower has plenty of hot water and lots of pressure, there is lots of space in the bathroom to put toiletries, and the kitchen is very well equipped - you could make all of your meals at home without any problem at all, if you didn’t fancy taking in any of the terrific restaurants Edinburgh has to offer. Chairs are comfortable, you’re able to control your own heat, and the instructions provided by the hosts were very very clear. Communication with the hosts was very easy and fast. We recommend this property wholeheartedly and will book it again.
