This flat is dreamy! It’s even prettier in person than in Sam’s accurate photos. Some people complained about noise but I actually found it quiet. The tram rumbles by every so often but what a lovely sound that is.
The flat has everything you could want—Nespresso machine (though you may have to pop around the corner to buy pods at the Nespresso boutique nearby), toaster, electric kettle, microwave, etc, and a washer/dryer which I needed and had forgotten was in the flat. Always a welcome bonus.
The flat has lovely high ceilings, good closet space, and a well-designed pretty bathroom with a heated towel rack.
It is up two long carpeted staircases to keep in mind if that is an issue for you or a companion. If not, it’s good for your legs and heart. :>)
You are a super-short walk to the Waverley train station which is great if that is how you are arriving or departing from Edinburgh. Also the bus station, which is even closer than the train station.
The location is central and walking distance to everything, yet out of the intensity of the most visitor-dense parts of town.
Sam was kind enough to let me drop my bags off earlier than check-in, and equally kind to give me a half-hour grace past 11:00 AM checking out since my train left at noon.
He was equally responsive when I couldn’t find basic kitchen tools which were in the cleverly placed cutlery drawer. Hint: it is a second drawer inside the top kitchen drawer!
I could not have been happier in this flat and recommend it highly.
