PERFECT LOCATION! Sue and Grant's place could not be more ideally located for getting to know Edinburgh. As we explored the city we were constantly surprised with how close we were to the apartment. We kept saying, "Oh, wait... the apartment is RIGHT OVER THERE." It was like it was following us.
Everything is nearby: Restaurants, pubs, groceries, attractions, historic sites. All the walking tours (ghost, history, whisky) seem to start just around the corner. Oh, and the "best haggis in Edinburgh" is served in the restaurant downstairs.
The unit itself is lovely. Very comfortably furnished living area. The bedroom has tons of storage space in cubbies on the walls and a closet with hangers. The bathroom is a good size and comes equipped with amenities like shampoo and body wash. For us, the water pressure in the shower was a little low, and the showerhead was a little hard to stand under... but perfectly serviceable.
I hesitate to say anything negative because the apartment is really great, and I cannot stress enoght how well located it is, so I'll just offer a couple of observations:
The unit is up two flights of steps from the street. Something to consider if you have heavy luggage.
There is a "vodka bar" directly below the unit, and at night they play music very loudly (lots of 80's rock while we were there) and it can be heard in the apartment. But, if you can't beat 'em, join 'em... we actually ended up going to the club for a couple of drinks one night which helped us put the sound in perspective.
Sue & Grant were VERY responsive when we had questions, prior to and, during our stay. I would absolutely recommend their unit to anyone planning a trip to Edinburgh.
