A very nice, spotlessly clean and well situated apartment in Edinburgh’s lovely Stockbridge district. There are plenty of shops nearby, from the small Scotmid Co-op a few doors away to a large Waitrose in Comely Bank, about a 15-minute walk (there are also at least 3 bus routes from the flat to this branch of Waitrose) . There are also plenty of bars, cafes and restaurants. A few of the local bars and shops have even survived from my student days in Edinburgh several decades ago. Stockbridge is an ideal base for an Edinburgh city break. There are lovely walkways along the Water of Leith and the wonderful Royal Botanic Garden is very close by, too. The flat is also very well equipped. We only ate out infrequently and the kitchen had everything we needed, even a vegetable steamer. A few issues with our check in are the only reason why I’m awarding our stay 4 stars out of 5 but I would definitely recommend this apartment nevertheless. We had a really lovely and much needed break in Edinburgh, and staying at Matthew’s flat in Stockbridge was not least of the reasons why our stay was so enjoyable: thank you.
