This was the perfect place to stay in Edinburgh. We would go back in a heartbeat and stay at the same place! The apartment is very clean and spacious, in possibly the best location in the whole city (directly opposite St. Giles Cathedral). The Old Town is lively and populated, but very safe and not too loud, especially as the bedroom is situated on the opposite side of the apartment from the street.
Excellent, prompt, and extremely friendly communication with Altido.
Additional notes:
There IS a shower in the bathroom! Heat and pressure are excellent. It is a handheld mounted overhead like an American shower.
There is a clothes washer/dryer combo - perfect for washing but slow to dry. Recommend finishing the process by draping clothes over towel warmer in bathroom.
If heat is low/off, open the boiler cabinet by the thermostat & make sure all 3 buttons are flipped on. Adjust radiator knobs to III/IV. Voila!
Perfect, all the way around. Thank you, St. Giles!
