This is a lovely apartment that is actually bigger than it looks in the pictures, which was a surprise for me as it is also in the city center where space is at a premium. The view from the living room is absolutely gorgeous--you can see Calton Hill and beyond all the way to the Firth of Forth. From the kitchen and bedroom, you can see the tree-filled courtyard and the apse of the medieval Trinity Church, which is super-picturesque. The apartment is decorated minimally, which made it extra serene, and all the appliances worked just fine and there were plenty of dishes to cook with and other utensils. There are four flights of stairs to climb, which started to get to me by the end of a three weeks' stay, but coming home to this apartment with its peace and quiet after a full day of walking around with my students and the other tourists made the climb more than worth it. Stuart is a very responsive host, too, so don't hesitate to contact him about anything.
