Overall, we enjoyed our stay. The location, just off the Royal Mile was ideal for us, and we enjoyed being able to walk everywhere. The apartment is at the top of a long circular staircase, which might be a problem for some (especially with heavy luggage), but we’re all active and didn’t mind the climb. The square can be noisy at night, so if you’re looking for a quiet place, look elsewhere or bring earplugs. Again, we expected that noise would be a part of being so centrally located, so we were fine with it. I would say the apartment sleeps 4 comfortably in 2 double beds. The pullout sofa in the living room has a very thin mattress and was quite uncomfortable, even if, like our daughter, you’re small and lightweight.
We very much appreciated finding fresh milk, fruit, bread and cereal waiting for us in the apartment! Our planes were delayed and we arrived after midnight - and we were so grateful to find food (and tea) already there.
