The apartment has lovely views of Arthur's Seat, a small mountain right in the middle of Edinburgh. It's a quick Uber ride or bus to the main center of the city or the fringe festival. There is a small balcony that seats two. The beds are somewhat comfortable but our teenagers said they did not sleep so well on the twin beds. I had read past reviews telling of wine and cookies being left by the host, but those days seem to be long gone. The apartment was a little bit Shabby and could use some updating, but everything was operational. You should know that there are three flights of stairs in the Elevator, so this won't work if you can't carry your luggage up stairs.
