My husband, our two sons and I stayed here during our family vacation in Scotland. It really was the ideal place to stay while visiting Edinburgh. It was clean and spacious enough for all of us. Both beds were comfortable. The apartment can be heated, which was really cosy after spending a day of sightseeing in damp weather. The kitchen is well equipped with dishes, cutlery and pots and it was nice to be able to prepare breakfast in the apartment before setting out for the day. We bought our groceries from the Tesco or Sainsbury, both located nearby on South Bridge. A real bonus for my husband was the shower because it closed completely, preventing water from leaking out, not always a feature in other European apartments based on our experience. The location of the apartment is also absolutely convenient. It is right off the Royal Mile and within walking distance of the majority of the tourist attractions. It is also less than 500m from Waverley Train Station and less than 300m from several bus stops on South Bridge. There are numerous restaurants and cafes within walking distance including some famous ones. Alan is a wonderful host. He was really accommodating and was always prompt at answering any questions we had. He made our stay in Edinburgh absolutely memorable.
