Our booking was efficiently handled and emails replied too very quickly. The apartment was as described and bigger than the photos suggested. Upon arrival we were greeted by the agent who showed us around and gave us useful information about the local area. The apartment was on the 13th floor and views were amazing as the photos showed. It was well appointed and the balcony overlooking Britannia and views towards the castle was nice and sheltered. As mentioned in other reviews, Asda supermarket is 12 minutes walk away and the shopping mall through which you access the Royal Yacht Britannia about 20 mins.walk away. Britannia is a fascinating museum piece and the onboard restaurant, although a bit pricey, served delicious food and staff were efficient and friendly. We used the no.10 bus (£1.50 per journey) from the nearby bus stop for the 25 min.ride into the city. Edinburgh is easy to orientate yourself around and a visit to the castle is a must (do book ahead online to save queuing for tickets). If you like Mexican food then 'Viva Mexico' in Cockburn St.off the Royal mile serves great food with a good atmosphere.
Although the immediate area is built up with modern apartments or in the process of rejuvenation and a bit soulless we found the location quite convenient and peaceful.
We had two and a half days in this lovely city and could have done with another day to do it justice.
