This apartment surpassed my expectations in every way. In the run-up to our stay, Derek was very responsive and helpful to the last detail. He provided everything we needed and more including coffee, tea, milk and muffins. If you think "Immaculate" is surely an overstatement... it is not! Everything was sparkling clean and tidy and where you would expect it to be. There is a good quality iron and hairdryer. My nephews had a wonderful time with the toys provided. Beds were comfortable and the bedrooms were spacious enough for luggage, wedding outfits etc. Across the street from my bride-to-be sister, it was hugely convenient for us. We ate at the Guru and Piatto Verde restaurants 5 mins walk away - both good value and tasty. Gentings Casino restaurant about 10 mins walk was surprisingly good as well - remember your ID though if you aren't a member. There is a grocery store down the street.

It is not central Edinburgh, but if you aren't in a rush, you can get to the Royal Mile in 15/20 minutes' walk.

The only slight inconvenience was that there is no dishwasher, and it is on the top floor of a traditional Edinburgh apartment building, so be prepared to walk up several flights of stairs. However I would not hesitate to recommend this apartment. I feel lucky to have stayed there and am so grateful to Derek for his hospitality.
