The apartment is new and well furnished. It is in a quiet neighbourhood, yet close to Princes Street, a main happening place in Edinburgh. The tips that the owner had on places to visit and things to do were helpful. Coffee shops, restaurants and grocery stores are all walking distance from the apartment. The place is newly renovated and the kitchen is well equipped. The host took the trouble of offering capsules with the espresso machine as well as nice bags of tea. The linens were new and fresh; towels were enough for a few days. The apartment is a penthouse situated on the second floor, so if you have lots of bags or have a problem climbing stairs, you need to take that into account. Overall the experience was good and I would rent the place again and recommend it to friends.
