The apartment is located in a safe, quiet, and trendy neighborhood with easy access to restaurants, shopping, and bus transportation. The one bedroom apartment was cozy and comfortable, with many extra amenities. We enjoyed the upscale bathroom and kitchen, with their high-quality fixtures, countertops, and appliances. The shower was exceptional, and the washer/dryer combo was an unexpected (and usually very rare) luxury. The bedroom was thoughtfully arranged, with plenty of storage space, and the bed was very comfortable. We normally pack carefully to ensure that we have everything needed. However, we soon found that if we had missed anything Ruth already had it covered! Ruth was an outstanding and responsive host, and we felt fortunate to have found her apartment in Edinburgh.
