We spent 5 lovely days in Lynne’s apartment over Hogmanay. The photos are true to life and the apartment is well equipped, the chef’s knife was actually sharp which is unheard of in our experience of holiday rentals! The bed is so comfy that I slept well, even on the first night, and every thing was clean and tidy. Despite the chilly temperatures outside the apartment was nice and cosy, and the heating is very flexible so you can have a cosy lounge and cooler bedroom if that is what you prefer. Lynne is a great host, quick to respond and super helpful with a couple of things I asked about.
The location is perfect for visiting the city, with all the main tourist spots being within walking distance (even for a couple of Silver Surfers). There are plenty of bars and restaurants on Rose Street itself, and even more within an easy walk. You are also really close to a tram stop, which will take you to and from the airport, and the airport bus stop at Waverley Station isn’t too far away either.
The one thing that did bother me a bit when I booked was how noisy it would be in the apartment, given its proximity to bars etc, and to be honest it didn’t actually bother us that much during our stay. Yes, in the evening when relaxing and watching the TV you could hear the sound of people chatting as they walked by, but not enough to mean you had to turn the volume up. A couple of times we did hear some noise during the night, but nothing to keep us awake for long, and we’d happily recommend the apartment to friends and family.
