We really enjoyed our stay here with my parents and our two teens. We used the simple transit and our rental cars to get to the royal mile - either way it took at least 20 minutes as with the car you had to take time to find parking. At the apartment there is lots of easy parking. There were a few quirks to get used to as Canadian travellers - including the (at first) somewhat confusing European stove/oven and spring-loaded interior doors - but that is to be expected. The place is beautiful and spacious and Grant is easy to communicate with.
