Alison's apartment is in a cracking spot right on the Royal Mile. Step out the front door and you are literally within a short stroll of all the best the city has to offer.
Alison's friend (Marion) was great - very patient waiting for us on arrival - and was very helpful with the check-in process.
The apartment has everything one could need for a short stay. The bagels for breakfast was a very nice touch (thanks!). The place (including the bedroom and bathroom) is a tad on the tight side - so is probably better suited to 2 people rather than 3 or 4. Didn't bother us though given we only had a one night stay. There are 2 flights of stairs to come up to the apartment- for some with luggage this might be tricky - but again didn't bother us.
A very homely feel... nicely decorated and clean apartment. Great spot for a couple visiting Edinburgh. Thanks Alison!
