Myself and a friend stayed for one night in this beautiful spacious apartment over looking the castle for one night in early September. We arrived after attending a wedding in Inverness and were so happy to find a clean, modern and bright apartment after a tiring journey and few days.
The apartment is in a great location right by the pubs and restaurants of Grassmarket and within walking distance of Edinburgh Castle, the Royal Mile, Greyfriars Churchyard and many more Edinburgh tourists spots. Holyrood, the Scottish Parliament Building and the bottom of Arthur's Seat are around a 20-25 minute walk away (we did stroll so could probably be reached soon for faster walkers. Edinburgh Waverley station is also not that far away to walk but is up quite a steep hill so with our luggage we got a taxi both ways.
Taiba was a brilliant host and was there at our agreed arrival time. She was happy and very welcoming. We were meetings friends to celebrate a birthday the night we arrived and Taiba recommended some lovely bars nearby. We took her recommendation of a nearby bar called Under the Stairs which served delicious cocktails!
We were looking for a late check out as our flight didn't leave until the late afternoon and Taiba was excellent in offering us late check out as there were no guests that night which was very convenient as we could still get some sight seeing in without having to carry our luggage around.
All in all, a great apartment with one of the best views in Edinburgh and a friendly accommodating host.
Will certainly be returning if I visit the beautiful and historic city of Edinburgh again!
