I stayed two weeks in Edinburgh with my family. We arrived on the 24th of Dec and we found really useful Tony 's information about markets hours, cabs phone numbers, places to visit.
The apt was perfect: clean, big as the pictures show, full of lot of facilities and just behind Edinburgh castle.
We knew from the map that it was really near the station but once there it was even nearer!
Edinburgh it's a really cute town and even if it is the capital of Scotland it is very quiet and people are friendly.
I would do it again!!
