The flat is located 10/15 minutes away from Edinburgh Waverley by bus. We caught the number 23 bus outside the scottish national gallery. It is £1.80 for an single adult ticket and £0.90 for a single child ticket or you can get an all day ticket for 2 adults and 3 children for £9.50 which we did use. To get to the flat you need to get off at Leven street and it is a couple of mins walk. The flat is opposite a golf course and fields and the flat is located on the 2nd floor. There are no lifts. The flat itself is huge and ideal for big families and highly recommend it. There are loads of buses outside the flat to various places within edinburgh. We caught the number 22 to ocean plaza where the britannia yacht is.
Bedding and towels are provided so you dont need to bring them and there is a lovely restaurant nearby called the Black Ivy which is lovely to either sit outside and enjoy a drink or 2 or sit inside and have a lovely meal. It is a little expensive but worth the price as the food is sooo good.
