We had a great stay at Brian's apartment during the Edinburgh festival. Although the tram works made the bus journey into town a bit tedious, it was still only around 30 mins into town and somewhat less coming back late at night. And wow the journey will be so much easier once the tram extension into Leith has been completed - we'll be coming back as soon as it's done!
The apartment is very spacious and well equipped, and provided everything we needed for our holiday. Self check-in instructions were crystal clear.
A suggestion for other guests - yes the number 10 bus is the nearest, but you can take a slightly longer walk via the waterside to Craighall Road and catch the number 7 or 11 which run frequently (turn left out of the front door and then left again after descending the few steps to the waterside). That way you get a beautiful waterfront walk in to start off your day. Also number 7 bus is better if you want to go all the way through to the old town as 10 and 11 stop short in the new town.
