There were a lot of things to really like about this place in Edinburgh. The location was great for being close to so many attractions and places to eat. We especially loved the little French bakery across the street, had great tarts, macarons and sandwiches there most days. The apartment was spacious and clean. The noise in the front bedroom was loud, but we knew this going in. Same with the circular staircases, definite motivation to pack light! There was nice storage in both bedrooms. The back bedroom was fantastic, quiet and very comfortable. The security was great, with a locked front gate, a locked entry to the apartment, and also the locked door to the apartment. The bathroom and kitchen were both great sizes and the kitchen seemed well equipped. The one drawback, which I didn't notice ahead of time, was the self-catering status, which meant no laundry soap and also only 2 rolls of toilet paper. Personally, I think we paid enough to stay at this place that there should have been adequate toilet paper, at the very least. If you are ok with having to find and purchase these items, I would definitely recommend staying here.
