This wonderful apartment is super convenient to the University and the Cowgate neighborhood. As walkers, we appreciated that we were SO CLOSE to shops, great restaurants, and more coffee places than we could try in a weekend. It is an easy walk to the Royal Mile and Princes Street and we walked to the Southgate Market Sunday and then on to Haymarket. Edinburgh is a walking town and this was a fabulous base. The apartment is clean, extremely well appointed and very comfortable. It had everything we needed and more. This is a fabulous neighborhood.
