Stunning luxury apartment, decorated flawlessly, with plenty of space and common areas for our family of nine to enjoy - we were quite spoiled! To check in, we called Armando, who met us at the building, provided keys, took us on a tour of the apartment, and gave us some sight-seeing tips. They even gave us a small welcome gift: Prosecco and shortbread biscuits (cookies)! The extra large towels Anna provided were perfect for the tall individuals in our group, and even a few toiletries were thoughtfully included (shower gel, shampoo). Anna’s very thorough welcome binder suggests where to eat dinner, where to buy groceries, etc. The back walkway puts you right in front of Edinburgh castle (less than one minute from he front door). In July/August, know that your direct view of the castle from the apartment windows is blocked by the temporary grandstands that Edinburgh erects for their summer festivals - but this didn’t bother us. We did not have to rent a car or use a taxi/Uber once while staying here. Don’t forget to pack UK outlet adapters!
