We stayed at Alison's apartment for three nights. It is on the top (third) floor of a magnificent Georgian row house, beautifully furnished with all modern amenities (kitchen, bathroom, etc.). Walking distance to many Edinburgh sites, as well as restaurants and a grocery store. Street parking in front was easy on the weekend but would be more challenging during the week (when you have to pay and there is a four hour limit during the day). Be aware that you will need to carry your luggage up the elegant staircase - this was not an issue for us but could be a challenge for some. Alison responded quickly to all of our queries, even one on a Sunday morning. This is an outstanding choice if you are looking for a place to stay in Edinburgh.
