The apartment was a good fit for our family comprising four adults and a four year old. It Was clean and appeared to be newly renovated. The Haymarkt railway terminal is about a block and half away as is public transportation to all parts of the city. But no need to take public transportation. The apartment is centrally located so walking to the various parts of the city was very practical. There are many ethnic restaurants in the neighborhood. We ate in two very fine restaurants, one Indian, the other Vietnamese. A Chinese restaurant nearby is rated as one one the best Chinese restaurants in Edinburgh.
