We really enjoyed staying in Euan's apartment. He's a genuinely pleasant man and has created a lovely home in this spacious apartment with lots of natural light. The apartment is on the third floor so keep that in mind if you don't like stairs, but we found the height quite manageable and we are in our 60's and 70's. Being on the top floor was peaceful, light and we agreed it is worth every step to the top.
Euan's apartment was very quiet both within the building and from without, even though we were surrounded by the beautiful old terraces of Edinburgh. There is big convenience store/supermarket with fruit and veg and a full range of foods only two minutes walk away.
The location of the apartment in relation to the old city centre is excellent because while it is not in the noisy centre of town, it is easy and quick to catch a bus to and from the things of interest. We were stunned by the beauty of the canal walk right into the city centre. It passes the end of Euan's block of terraces and for us was an easy 30 minute amble into town. If I hadn't stopped for photos of painted barges, etc along the way, we could have done it briskly in 20 minutes. Unless you are hooked on staying right in the centre of town we can recommend this location. We were flying out of Edinburgh and the bus-stop for the airport bus is no more than ten minutes suitcase-bearing walk from Euan's - so easy!
