Wonderful experience Under the Castle. A great choice for a couple or a few close friends looking for the convenience of home while on vacation.

Location: The apartment is centrally located making site seeing easy but still quiet enough for a night in. There are multiple bus stops within a 2 block radius that offer multiple choices for bus routes. Bus rides to major locations are short and direct for all but the most extreme of agendas. Or, if you prefer to walk, Grassmarket, Old Town and the Royal Mile are within an easy walking distance. The city is hilly, though, so keep that in mind when planning. ATMs, grocery stores, eateries, and local shops were all located within the immediate area. The neighborhood was quiet and felt safe, even later at night.

Apartment: The apartment was exactly as pictured and felt a bit bigger than expected in person. The bedroom was cozy with nice thick curtains for sleeping late and a comfortable bed. The kitchen was stocked with all the necessities and offered multiple cooking options (stove top/oven/microwave) as well as a washer/dryer machine that came in very handy for a longer stay. The living/dining area was big enough to have the pull-out couch open and still leave a bit of room to move about. The bathroom was on the small size but perfectly functional. The shower was a bit of a squeeze for a larger person but had plenty of hot water. Wi-Fi worked like a dream and we were able to control the heating for the apartment to suit our needs.

Host: Lynne was extremely professional and genuinely kind. She greeted us when we arrived, was very accommodating of our flight schedules, and responded immediately to requests for recommendations before and during our stay. The apartment guidebook she provided has anything and everything you might need from instruction manuals for all major appliances to recommendations for site seeing. She's thought of pretty much everything you might need for your stay and was only a text away if we needed anything.

Recommendation: This is a great location for a couple or a few close friends looking to see the city but maintain the convenience of home. Lynne was a great host and I'd definitely stay here again on a return trip.
