Absolutely the place you want to stay!!
Spotlessly clean, well equipped kitchen, and great beds with pristine linens. I'm a bit of a cleanliness nut and I could find no fault with Lynn's place.
Wonderful view from the back bedroom of Old Town stone buildings and a lovely wild garden below. The views from the front sitting room and bedroom are toward town and across the Waverly rail station. Trust me: you do not hear the trains, and you can walk to transportation, even dragging luggage, in 3 minutes.
Aside from the trams and trains in the station are places to get a few kitchen staples, from dairy to bread to veggies, and Pret Manger has prepared foods. There is also a pastry shop and a cafe, so if you arrive late and need to pick up something quickly, it's so simple. Lynn left cereal and milk in the fridge as well!
One more thing about the kitchen: I'm a Nespresso coffee addict, and there is a Nespresso machine on the counter. Yay Lynn!
Full disclosure: there are stairs to the flat, but I'm 74 and not a super athlete, and I had no trouble. Just an FYI.
If you enjoy longer stays, there is plenty of closet and drawer space for you to unpack and pretend you actually live in such a great place.
Up the street and around the corner (only a block) is the Royal Mile where you will find shops and restaurants of every kind, and at the very end is the castle. The National Museum is also nearby.
This flat is perfectly located near transportation (bus, tram, train), is tastefully decorated with comfy furniture which shows no wear, and subtle Scottish hints in the wall art and thistle-printed lampshades. All in all, if in Edinburgh, I'll plan my stay around a vacancy here, and encourage anyone to give it a try. I am happy to give it 5 stars across the board!
