This stunningly decorated flat is located on a quiet street in the very heart of the city within the West End/Haymarket area. Edinburgh Castle, Edinburgh International Conference Centre, and all major sights are within walking distance as well as some of the city's top rated restaurants (be sure to make reservations if possible as most restaurants tend to remain busy through the day). The flat’s 1 bedroom is cozy and comfortable as is the living room and dining area. Though we did not have a chance to cook, the fully equipped kitchen would have accommodated us perfectly had we decided to do so. I really appreciated the upstairs half bath just within the flat entrance. This made it super convenient to hang our coats, kick off our shoes, refresh on the way in or out, or quickly dry off from the rain. The bathroom was also beautifully refurbished. The tile and fixtures gave me ideas for my own home. You can tell no expense was spared and every inch of the space was carefully planned to maximize comfort and style.
There is a public indoor pool just across the street. Bring your swimsuits! In addition to all that, Gintare provides essentials such as linen, towels, Wi-Fi, hairdryer, shampoo and soap. The one and only wish we had during our stay was a true dryer as the one in the flat is an eco version that is part of the washer, which means it mostly just spins as much water out of your clothing as possible and you must hang items to fully dry. Our October stay meant that we experienced the rainiest month in Scotland and a proper dryer would have been great. Still not at all a deal breaker and I would absolutely stay at Gintare’s place again as it was absolutely perfect!
