This is a beautiful apartment that is situated in the Grassmarket area in Edinburgh. There’s no parking next to the apartment, and very little nearby Grassmarket (other than timed parking). And lots of steep steps coming down from Johnston’s Terrace or up from the Grassmarket area. Beware that you should be good shape to get to the apartment! ITT was tough for me as I had injured my back and ribs a few days prior, and it was tough going.
The apartment was in excellent shape. Rooms were well laid out and had plentiful amenities - best shower of our whole trip! The kitchen had everything we needed. I was very happy to see a Nespresso coffee maker, with pods, milk packets and sugar available!
Location to the Edinburgh castle, and Royal Mile was wonderful - although it requires lots of stair climbing and steep hills.
The apartment is well stocked and the washer/drier combo worked well. Excellent manual to help get things working,
The Grassmarket area has a lot of good pubs, restaurants (the French Restaurant, Le Petit Paris, is delish and has an early bird special. Food at Mussels and Steak was more pricey and delish! There’s a convenience store as we’ll that’s open late.
Communication with the owner, Francesca, or the local caretaker, Hannah, was very timely and excellent. Thanks for that.
All in all, I’d highly recommend this flat if you are fit & healthy enough climbing all of the stairs!! The view of the castle was spectacular!!
