We had a wonderful stay at this apartment. It was immaculately clean, including the carpets and any upholstered furniture. The kitchen was very well equipped and provided plenty of space to prepare meals. There were even kids' plastics bowls, plates, and utensils, which we really appreciated since we traveled with a 15-month old. Anabel provided a baby cot and a high chair, which is enormously helpful when traveling with a toddler! The bed linens and bath towels were nice quality and I can't emphasize enough how clean everything was. The apartment also offers spectacular views of the Edinburgh Castle and surrounding landscape. Although the apartment is located 2 miles from the Royal Mile, it was well worth making this small sacrifice in order to stay in such nice accommodations at a great value. There was a bus stop just outside of the apartment and it took about 25 minutes to arrive in the center of town. It really wasn't difficult to figure out how to catch the bus and it came frequently enough (about every 20 minutes I believe) that it didn't feel inconvenient. You could alternatively elect to take a cab if you don't want to deal with the bus and would still be saving a lot of money to stay in this apartment in Leith rather than an apartment of similar quality in the center. We loved our stay and highly recommend it.
