An absolutely charming, characterful apartment, perfect for a single traveller or couple, but there is an additional sofa bed and plenty of space in the large cosy living room if more wish to stay.
The apartment is around a 10 mins walk from Haymarket station and is easy and straight forward to find from there. As the photos show, it is right next to the start of the Union canal which adds to its romance. Considering it is in the centre of Edinburgh, it is nice and quiet here (even with the building work nearby). There is a handy Tesco Metro five minutes walk away, but everything this city has to offer you in the way of food and entertainment is on your doorstep here. I was here for the Fringe and this apartment was a great base to reach the venues: I was able to walk to Assembly Square and the Pleasance in half an hour, and caught the tram from Haymarket to Princes Street which took around ten minutes. And of course the tram goes straight to the airport in around 40 mins from here.
The well equipped galley kitchen is clean and well stocked up with some handy basics (sugar, salt, pepper, oil, tea, coffee) and a few nice extras like porridge, biscuits, flour and fresh milk.
If you have mobility issues, the bathroom may not suit you as it is on the narrow side, but it was absolutely fine for me: clean, bright and plenty of hot water (and a huge heated mirror which was fabulous).
The apartment is also on the top floor with six flights of stairs to climb, so again, if you have mobility issues, this is worth noting (I'm sure this is mentioned in the listing). It didn't spoil my stay at all.
Communication with Claire and Lou was always informative, friendly and welcoming. They sent me their mobile number should I need their assistance at any time.
A great place that l would certainly consider staying at again if l return to the Fringe in the future. Thoroughly recommend.
