Dunc & Dee's place was perfect for our (senior couple) 4 day stay in Edinburgh! The location could not be beat! There were so many great restaurants nearby (and a terrific one "Bona Vivant" right next door). Dunc and Dee were great hosts, leaving a bottle of Prosecco and some cookies for us. Their communication about how to enter, key issues, etc. was wonderful (complete with pictures). We really felt at home when we'd get back to the apartment after a long day of touring. We were happy that there was a washer. And it was no problem drying the clothes on the rack they had with the fan turned on. As others have said, if someone has mobility issues, the stairs might be a problem. But, we even thought the stairs were quaint. One touch that we appreciated was the dark curtains. We were there near the summer solstice so it was light when we went to bed and when we got up. But, the room darkening curtains really helped. I would highly recommend this place to anyone!
