Perfect place to stay in Edinburgh. My wife and daughter visited last year and they recommended to stay at the same place and I can totally see why. First the location is excellent. In the buzzing university district and a 5 minute walk to the Royal Mile. There are lots of shops and restaurants close at hand and all the sites are an easy walk away.
One of the hosts met us outside the building and they were very helpful and responsive with our questions (even when I was too thick to find the on button on the TV!)
The apartment itself is bright, airy and surprisingly large. It was very clean, nicely decorated and has all the amenities you could wish for. The beds and sofas were all comfortable. I can't really find any fault with it at all and definitely hope to stay here next time I am in Edinburgh so strongly recommend it.
TRAVELLERS TIPS: If you want to go up to Arthur's Seat and are a little less fit take one of the easier routes from the Hollyrood park side. If you are visiting the Botanical Gardens then book lunch at New Chapter restaurant. The food is superb. Hollyrood palace is well worth a visit.
