If you want to be in the heart of the action in Edinburgh, this is your place. Seconds to Grassmarket, a few minutes to the Royal mile and beyond. It also has a spectacular view of the castle from the courtyard. The apartment was very clean with lots of amenities. Fast wifi.
Since most reviews cover all of the great things about this apartment, I will touch on a couple things that should be noted:
-While the apartment is in a great area, there are lots of other tourists in the same building, and they can be noisy and rowdy at night. Not a fault of the apartment, but something to be aware of if that bothers you.
-You can hear everything the upstairs neighbor does.
-While the communication with Simon and Anna was fast and reliable, they did seem a little hesitant (and, dare I say standoffish) about increasing the temperature of the room by a degree or two when I asked. Ultimately they did allow us to, but the communication they used to discuss it implied they weren’t too happy about it.
-Some information in the check in instructions and guest info sheet in the room was outdated, such as no portable radiator (which was why we asked to increase the heat) and the bus line information from the airport.
All in all, a great place to stay if you want the touristy Edinburgh experience, especially if you plan on staying near the Royal Mile and don’t want to venture off too far.
