We had a fantastic three weeks here. The apartment is really big, a lot larger than we were expecting for central Edinburgh. It is up one flight of steep stairs, however we had the baby buggy and didn't find it too bad. There are toys galore which came in more than handy for our three year old who never wanted to leave! There is also a wide variety of books and DVDs. The beds are very comfortable and the lounge is great for sitting watching the world go by from the big windows. The kitchen is well equipped and there is a small Sainsburys and a new Co-Op Food just a five minute walk away for groceries. There are tons of dining options surrounding the apartment, even a restaurant/bar directly downstairs, although there was very little noise, apart from a few inconsiderate neighbours on the stairwell. The start of Princess St is just a 10-15 min walk away once you work out the short cut! Brilliant apartment, we had a great time.
