This is a very comfortable room in a well-equipped and very clean apartment. it is two blocks from the beach and steps away from stops for frequent buses going to or coming from downtown Edinburgh. There are plenty of restaurants and take-outs along the street and a grocery store two blocks away. The view from the room is of the Firth of Forth and from the other side of the apartment one can see Edinburgh and Arthur's Seat.
Agnes is very nice and had several useful suggestions for things to do and see. She was out most of the time. So even though the bathroom and kitchen are shared, there is unlikely to be any conflict over their use. I was also able to use the living room and TV whenever I wished.
One thing to be aware of is that the apartment is up three flights of stairs; two of these are spiral staircases in the building itself, and the third flight is in the apartment.
This place is a tremendous value and if I am ever in Edinburgh again, I would be delighted to stay there.
