The apartment is beautiful - we wished we could have stayed longer! It was about 15 minutes uphill walk to the centre. We managed to get free parking (we stayed Saturday/Sunday) because there are no restrictions or charges over the weekend on Henderson Row and Dundas Street other than the permit only areas. Robert was fantastic to communicate with & nothing was to much trouble - booking and check in was very smooth. Really pleased with our stay in Edinburgh! Only tiny weeny thing was the shower/toilet are very small but we saw this on the previous reviews so knew in advance & weren't surprised!
