What a wonderfully located apartment and what a wonderful host! Alison's communication was outstanding ever since the first enquiry seven months ago and it was very easy to find and access the flat. Alison knew we were staying one night as part of our mini-moon and had left out a very cool Just Married light box and a beautiful orchid on display which was a lovely touch. She obviously takes great care to listen to her guests, which we really appreciated.
The apartment is clean, cosy, beautifully decorated and in a fabulous location...you literally couldn't get any closer to the heart of things. In spite of this, as other posters have said, it isn't noisy at all as the bedroom backs onto a quiet residential square. The location is just ideal.
The flat is very cosy - great for a couple or a couple of friends staying a day or two who wanted to be out and about exploring the city - but probably not best suited to families, more than two people, or folks who want to spend lots of time indoors relaxing (but with all the delights of Edinburgh on your doorstep, why would you spend time sitting indoors?). Great for a short stay in the centre of things.
