This apartment is in a waterfront development in Leith and, as such, is ideally placed for getting into Edinburgh. The bus stop is under 5 minutes walk away and it takes about 30 minutes to get to Princes Street. it is also possible to walk in along the walking / cycling routes. The Botanic Gardens are about half way in to the city.
The apartment is on the 7th floor and looks out across the harbour. There is a lift which saves a lot of carrying thongs up and down stairs.
The nearest shop is a 24 hour ASDA which is around 15 minutes walk - if you are on your way back from the city, you can get off the bus a couple of stops early and pop in. There is also a shopping centre a bit further away by the Royal Yacht Brittania - it has free parking if you prefer to drive. Brittania is worth seeing - you need to allow an hour and a half to do the tour.
