We had an excellent stay just off the Grassmarket. The lounge offers a stunning view of Edinburgh Castle - the perfect way to start the day by opening the curtains to take in the view!
The apartment is tastefully decorated and comes with all the appliances you'd need to really make yourself at home.
Location wise, it's just a few mins walk from the Royal Mile, and there's lots of food and drink options within a few minutes walk too.
Taiba was very generous by letting us drop off our bags at noon, which we greatly appreciated.
A few small points to watch out for. As the apartment is on the top floor and there's no lift, there's around 70 steps to walk up (I know as my toddler insisted on counting them!). This is no problem if you're fit and able, but watch out if you have a pram or heavy cases.
Parking wise, there is a reasonably priced (Edinburgh wise) car park a short walk away. It's £12 a day IF you're in before 9am, but this jumps up to £18 for entry after 9am.
We REALLY enjoyed our stay and would love to stay there again. For my mum, it was here first time seeing the castle, so to stay in somewhere with such a great view of it was fantastic!
