We enjoyed staying in this spacious and clean 2-bedroom apartment one two occasions this summer. The walking path on the canal is great for some morning exercise and goes for miles, and the convenience of having grocery stores nearby can't be beat. It's close enough to walk to all of the sights (about 25 minute walk to royal mile), but feels more like a normal residential area than a touristy spot. There is a lot of student housing in the neighborhood, so a nice vibe. The fact that you're above an auto repair shop does mean that you'll hear a "ding" once in a while during working hours when their customers arrive, it did not bother us as we were out and about most of the days, but something to be aware of. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone headed to Edinburgh and I hope to stay there again on my next trip. The price, in comparison to a hotel, can't be beat, especially given how much room you have all the amenities of having a full-stocked kitchen, a washer/dryer, and great internet. I would recommend not bringing a car if you can avoid it, we ended up just parking our rental car at a Hermiston park and ride about 5 miles away for the whole time (it says you can park overnight there for up to 3 days, Ingliston also has a park and ride, on tram line), it's so easy to walk or take bus or taxis everywhere and parking in the city is VERY expensive.
