We found the apartment was within walking distance of the city centre near cafes restaurants and bars. We hadn’t realised there were lap dancing clubs next door and as such I wouldn’t recommend the area for females only. The clubs were noisy. However this didn’t detract from our enjoyment of being in Edinburgh. The bed was comfy and clean as was the living area. My partner is 6 foot 2 and struggled to fit in the toilet area and shower. So make sure your small. Maria was lovely and want to ensure we were happy with the apartment and that we had an idea of what was available in Edinburgh.
