If you are coming to Edinburgh and enjoy walking, Sandy's apartment facing the Union Canal couldn't be better located. There is good public transportation nearby if you want it, but we were only a twenty minute walk from the heart of the city and walking brought us into contact with so much that makes ghost city a lively and historic location. Be sure to bring good walking shoes and rain gear! The first floor apartment is lovely, with comfortable beds, a fully equipped kitchen, a nice living room overlooking the canal, etc. We loved having a washer/dryer available (once we figured out how to use it most efficiently), and with a small grocer nearby it was great to be able to have breakfast at the apartment before heading out fof the day. It was really helpful having someone meet us and get us situated; finding the parking space was a bit complicated, and both the toilet and appliances needed instructions (the toilet because of slow refill time, which makes it seem like it is not working if you flush too soon after the first flush, and the washer/dryer which had no instruction book and complicated options, meaning that the first time we used it the entire process took almost 4 hours from start to finish ish. If you use and washcloth for your face, be sure to bring it, since no exception are provided. Given the minor "issue," very highly recommended.
