Overall, a good value in a great location, with plenty of room, a nice layout, modern furniture and appliances, clean space and helpful owners.
Specifics:
>Great location in Old Town, with easy access to lots of historical sights and to a hop-on/hop-off bus stop. Also close to the Holyrood Park.
>Really clean. No dirt anywhere.
>WiFi access worked well.
>Extras were impressive -- breakfast foods, water, milk, beer, etc. was above and beyond the norm. Left us a converter to use for our U.S.-based electronics, which was great. Also left fresh cut flowers in the flat, which was a sweet touch.
>Flat was sleek and modern, all the furniture and appliances were in great condition and worked well. Has all the expected appliances and features -- dishwasher, microwave, washing machine.
>Well-equipped with pots, pans, dishes, cutlery, tea kettle, etc.
>Owners were helpful and available for questions. Seemed like really nice people.
>Both the bed in the single bedroom and the bed on the pullout sofa were comfortable and allowed for a good night's sleep.
>A tip for renters: The address on Holyrood Street can be confusing to cab drivers. So if you are taking a cab or shuttle from the airport, best option for directions to just to tell them to take you to the Hotel MacDonald on Holyrood. The hotel is literally right next door, just a few feet across a small alley from the apartment building.
