Location, location, location! This apartment is perfectly situated for walking to all the historic sites and museums etc but is out of the tourist zone and is lovely and quiet. There are shops and great restaurants and coffee near by so everything is very accessible. The apartment is light and bright and was very comfortable and had everything you might need. We will definitely stay here on our next trip to Edinburgh. Parking is a bit of a hassle if you are not used to city parking but Patrick provided detailed information on where to park and made that part easy.
