A really massive, impressive and comfortable flat, equidistant between The Kitchen and the Royal Yacht Britannia, the two places we wanted to visit. There was a Sainsbury’s local And an M & S food store close by and loads of restaurants.
The flat it’s self was comfortable and enormous. Comfy seating for at least 16. It was generally clean the bed was comfortable and most things appeared to work well. The parking is outside. There are signs saying clamping and fines will be given without a permit which is a little off putting, but after clarification with Clare and the next door neighbour, this is for the next area along and the area outside the flat is for the flat residents and no permit was required.
There is a balcony which did get a tiny bit of sunshine and we did sit out one evening. The whole of Leith appears to be a building site at the moment and new flats are being built opposite at the moment, however there was no real noise problem from this. You could walk into Edinburgh in about 50 minutes or get the bus, both of which we did. Edinburgh roads are being dug up to put in a tram service I think which meant there was little difference in time between the bus or walking. There was little information about the area in the flat and a little info book would have been useful. We do not use air B&B much so this may be the normal, I just felt the flat was slightly too full of stuff and less things would have made a better holiday rental but then this is somebodies flat and it may be normal on Air B&B. Generally we had a good trip and it was a lovely place to come home to after a day’s sightseeing. You can then choose to try out the local restaurants or nip to M&S local. ( The Kitchen needs booking well in advance, our trip there was great but husband is still getting over the bill!!)
