My wife and I recently stayed in this small Thistle Street flat in Edinburgh for a combination holiday/work week at the beginning of April. It was very conveniently located in the heart of the West End which suited us. The flat itself was comfortable and fairly well appointed (good internet, great books, modern kitchen/bathroom) apart from an uncomfortable mattress (anyone with bad backs should find somewhere else) and cheap pillows. Without meaning to be unkind, it isn't that big an expense to a provide a comfortable sleeping environment which contributes so much to a good break. One big plus was being surrounded by very good restaurants, however on Friday and Saturday nights there can be a lot of loud late night partying going on which I'm sure escalates in peak season. None of this is a problem if you know what to expect. We had a relaxed time and really appreciated being in the heart of the city.
