The unit is located in an up and coming area. There is currently a lot of construction going on in the area for a new tram line, so everything is a bit congested and dirty. It is a short walk to the docks area where there are a great number of good restaurants, pubs, and cocktail places. Getting in Edinburgh is extremely easy with bus stops right outside the building.
The unit was very well maintained and clean, you can tell it has been renovated recently. The bedrooms in the unit face the street so I would recommend ear plugs of some sort. Parking is on street and was difficult because of construction, but I think in normal times it would not be an issue.
Grocery stores, bakeries, butchers, restaurants, pubs, clubs, and shopping locations are all within a few minutes walk from this location. We will stay here again in the future and really look forward to seeing the neighborhood post construction.
