We stayed for a long weekend in May 2018. It’s a really lovely apartment, nicely decorated with all the essentials you would need for a trip away. Eric was very quick to respond to all messages, and arranged check in and check out so it was as easy as could be for us.
Eric had also left a really detailed list of notes about staying in the flat - plus also added lots of local tips on things to do, how to get there, plus where to eat and get coffee, which was a really helpful and thoughtful touch. There are a couple of cafes nearby, and a takeaway, but most of the nearest restaurants are a short walk or taxi ride.
The apartment is a five minute walk from a shopping centre with a Sainsbury’s, which was handy. It’s about a 15 minute walk to a Holyrood Park and Arthur’s Seat, which was ideal. It takes about 20 minutes walking to get to the bottle of the Royal Mile and a bit longer into the Old Town on foot. Not a problem if you don’t mind walking, but there was a load of buses nearby if you didn’t fancy the walk.
Would definitely recommend staying here
