Sarah's Edinburgh flat is lovely and perfect for a get-away. The apartment itself is well-designed and thoughtfully laid-out. During my visit the internet was fast and reliable, which was important as it was a working weekend for me. The heat worked well to, as did the washer. Sara made me feel very welcome with flowers, little treats and slippers (the floor is painted white, very elegant). The apartment is in a perfect location and on a quiet block. There is grocery shopping around the corner and plenty of cafes. If you run out of staples House of Fraser is three blocks away and the largest Boots I have ever seen is a ten-minute walk. The flat is in a perfect location if you plan to explore the city by foot but don't want to be in the heart of the touristy rush. One note: there is a flight of stairs down to the flat (one flight for Edinburgh is a breeze) so keep that in mind if you have a lot of bags. A couple of tips: the apartment is close to the Waldorf Astoria and excellent for people watching. One evening I did a ghost tour and it was a lot of fun. The Salon across the street (Oddessey) is excellent, book in advance if you can. It's a beautiful city full of history, enjoy.
