The flat doesn't look like much from the outside, but don't be fooled: ovnce in the door you'll find a well, if simply, appointed flat, spotlessly clean, with comfortable beds, a fully equipped kitchen, lots of hot water and a nice shower, and a front room with a lovely sofa, dining table, and television. Books and accents highlighting local features are a nice but not overdone touch. Previous reviews that mention mechanical issues are out of date--as of my visit in July 2019 everything was in very good order. Brian and team are very responsive with communication and questions. The place is a little off the beaten path as far as central Edinburgh is concerned, but the bus connection makes this easily overcome. Nice little chippie on the corner, and a big Sainsbury's for groceries just down the road. Great self-catering venue, wouldn't hesitate to book again for a longer stay in Edinburgh.
