Situated not far from the eastern end of Princes' Street, at the foot of the iconic Calton Hill with its amazing views of Edinburgh and the Firth of Forth as well as its landmark Grecian-style monuments which are visible all over the city, this flat could not be more conveniently located. We were particularly surprised to find the tomb of world famous philosopher David Hume just over the road in the elegiac Old Calton graveyard which also includes the city's conspicuous obelisk celebrating five 18thc martyrs for democracy. Howie's restaurant is just a stone's throw away and the whole of Edinburgh is within very easy walking distance. The flat has a pleasant living room with a view of the Firth of Forth, and a kitchen with all the usual amenities. The bathroom and shower were clean, spacious and in good order . Uwe was prompt in his attention and very thoughtfully provided a large bowl of fruit and some milk and bread to set us off on our week's holiday. In summary, the flat met our expectations in respect to its location and exceeded them in respect to its location. Many thanks, Uwe.
