Catherine looked up the train schedule, knew exactly when we were arriving, and waiting for us by the front door. It took us about 10-15 minutes to walk from Waverly station to the apartment (with luggage and uphill). The apartment was perfect and exactly as described. It's a very large space for being in Europe where apartments are usually smaller. There is a free parking space which is part of the apartment building property. We used the kitchen to cook breakfast and dinner. The washing machine was great because we didn't need to pack as much clothes. It's right next to King Arthur's Seat and a very short walk to all the sites on the Royal Mile. Overall an excellent place to stay, a very nice host, and I would stay her again.
