We've just come back from four magical days in Edinburgh. And what made it the more spectacular was David's two bedroom flat right in the heart of the city. It is so easy to get to from any means of transportation. We took the Tram from the airport and it's a quick ten minute walk from the Princes Street station. ( It is a "wee" bit uphill so just know that the views you'll be enjoying come at a bit of a cost) and three flights up a cute winding staircase open up a very charming homey two bedroom flat that will sleep four comfortably.
The Master Bedroom is comfortable and extremely quiet for those of us who live in a big city. It has everything you need from hairdryer to ironing board and iron. The wood floors throughout are clean and quaint at the same time. Their is definitely charm to this little flat. The twin bedroom looked comfortable as well and sheets and towels were very nice and readily available.
The living room has a small cute leather sofa that's great for snuggling at the end of the day, and two comfy armchairs and a beanbag chair straight out of another era. All clean and nicely appointed. And the view of Edinburgh Castle from the dormer living room windows lets you know exactly where you are. We loved looking at that view.
It has a WC near the front door with a cute sink on one side of the hall and a nice shower and sink on the other side of the front entrance. The water pressure can be a bit slow there on the fourth floor, but I used it early in the morning and had plenty.
The kitchen is very nicely stocked with everything you'd need to cook your nights away, but with all the great restaurants in Edinburgh we only use it to make coffee in the morning and keep some essentials in the under the counter sink. It has a washer dryer that works like a charm and a dishwasher that we never used. And looking out over the north of Edinburgh while washing the dishes made the task completely enjoyable.
There was scaffolding around the building that they were in the process (a very slow process) of taking down while we were there. And should be gone by the time the next renters come in.
All in all we enjoyed our stay very much and David -even though we never saw him - was very helpful whenever we had a question or problem.
Do check this place out if you want to be right in the midst of a very fun city.
