Choosing Barry's appartment to stay in Edinburgh was a great decision. I was there with my mum and sister and it was a really pleasant and comfy stay for us. The appartment is lovely and it have all what you may need during your stay. Water of Leith will make you fall asleep as during professional ASMR session :) As some people pointed out - yes, you could hear neihbours but it was just a normal sound of people living in the same building. It was quiet during nightime so we could rest after whole day trips we made around Edi. The area is safe, there are two groceries opened till 10 pm nearby and fantastic pubs and coffee shops around. It is also great point to travel around the city (bus stops just around the corner), walking distance to the city center was also perfect. Communication with hosts was great, they're responsive and helpful. If I ever comeback to this city, I would choose this place to stay again. Thank you for making my stay in Edinburgh so great!
