this apartment is minimalist but wonderful. it was perfect for my stay. its simple but still cozy and has an incredible location. the shower room is separate from the toilet room yet both rooms have sinks--one of my favorite apartment layouts! the fridge is mini but still spacious.
the location was really incredible--you're ON the royal mile. footsteps away from endless cafes, bars, shops and restaurants, yet also located near the far end of the mile so its quieter and less rowdy then the more central parts of the mile. you're also only a 5 minutes walk from the base of arthur's seat which is an amazing morning walk. in the opposite direction you are between 5-20 minutes walking from essentially all the amazing museums, attractions and various centers of the city in all directions. the street is historic and very very beautiful. you're surrounded by historical architecture.
to note:
-as mentioned in previous reviews the windows are single pane (i believe this is because it is located on the historic royal mile and thus the architecture legally cannot be changed) and so despite being 4 floors up sound does travel in from the streets below. if you are a very light sleeper this might not be the unit for you. i'm a moderately light sleeper and the noise did not affect me at all. this area of the street is not too loud or bustling
-the bed is a bit thin/the springs feel prominent. its surely not the most luxurious mattress but i wouldn't say it was terribly uncomfortable.
-the unit is on the top floor; up 3 flights of stairs and there is no elevator
