We stayed here for 4 nights for a conference at the University plus sightseeing. The location in the old town is great - Edinburgh is a very compact, walkable city, but this location was incredibly convenient to bars, restaurants, coffee shops, grocery stores, and many attractions (peer out the living room window into Holyrood park!). The apartment is comfortable and clean, with all the basics for a self-catering stay, and the bed was very soft and cozy after an overnight flight. Hot water was a little tricky to figure out, but not a big deal. Would happily stay here again if we have another chance to come to Edinburgh!
