Our stay at Claires apartment was lovely. The location was perfect too, not quite in the city center but an easy 15 to 20 mins walk to the sights. Very close to Calton Hill. If you're looking for a place to explore Edinburgh which gives you a nice homely feeling but isn't located in the busy part of Edinburgh, we would definitely recommend staying there. Claire was very clear with her instructions and always available when needed. Since we arrived by car, the free parking in the street was a big bonus.
