Location! The apartment is clean and bright. It is quiet. It is tiny but two levels and high ceiling make it feel open. The street is not appealing with garbage bins and construction. The public area hallway carpets are tired and worn but there are two security doors and we felt very safe. What makes it perfect is location. 5 minute walk to the Royal Mile or the Museum. Tesco Express, Sainsbury and Lidl are within 2 blocks so you can pick up food and prepare in the compact well equipped kitchen. Surrounded by restaurants! Try Solti for Indian, Holyrood Cafe for breakfast, coffee shops everywhere. Close to city bus routes and right in the middle of University buildings. Klara answered my messages immediately to solve the few small issues I had.
