This flat is absolutely amazing. Firstly, the location. It's in the middle of a small hill. At the top of the hill is a Sainsbury, super convenient. Plus a nice downhill walk with your groceries! The bus stop is maybe twenty feet away from the gate. At the bottom of the hill is Grassmarket! You're a five minute walk from Greyfriar's Bobby and the National museum of Scotland. There are steps to the castle right at the base of the hill! It's maybe a fifteen minute climb to the castle. You can go over the hill or around the base to reach Prince Street Gardens for a lovely stroll. The National Gallery is right in the park as well. The farthest thing from the flat is Holyrood park and Arthur's Seat. We made the half hour stroll to the park to take the hike to Arthur's seat. If you don't want to walk, transportation is abundant just a few feet from the flat.
The flat itself is quiet and comfortable. There are tons of guide books and maps. The bed was SO extremely comfortable!! This is such a must for us. Lynn provides everything you could need for a comfortable stay besides food, and even then she stocks tea, coffee, sugar, oil, spices, a fresh pint of milk, and she was kind enough to leave a bottle of sparkling wine in the fridge as she knew it was our honeymoon :) she also provides laundry soaps, dish soaps, shampoo and body wash, and several other necessities.
You don't even have to worry about bringing a power converter. She provides one with 3 USB plugs that was far better than the one we brought with us. The wifi is speedy and the connection is always strong.
Besides having a lovely flat, Lynn is a fantastic person. She met us at the flat shortly after we arrived, gave us suggestions on where to eat and what to do, and she responds to messages so quickly!
When we found out the door to the washer was broken, she was so speedy to get a repair man over! When the repair man had to order a part so the washer wouldn't be fixed for a few days, she actually offered to pick up and do our laundry for us. That is how utterly fantastic she is!!
The flat was immaculate on our arrival. It's quiet and just removed enough from the main road to remain that way. Great curtains provide for a restful night's sleep and privacy at night. There's a view of the castle just outside the flat. People were taking pictures from the street and we felt so lucky to have such a perfect angle from the entryway.
Please book with Lynn. You won't be dissapointed. She made sure that our stay in Edinburgh was just as lovely as it could have been, and for that we are so very grateful. We look forward to booking with Lynn again!
