The location is absolutely perfect for actively exploring Edinburgh, Holyrood Park and the University of Edinburgh, especially if you are walking/hiking. Grocery stores, pubs, restaurants, shops, and bus stops are nearby (1-2 blocks). Waverly train station is within walking distance. If you have heavy luggage please note that it is an uphill walk from the station to the apartment. The apartment was extremely clean, organized, and the amenities were exactly as advertised. The wi-fi, TV, and washer/dryer worked very well. Recycling bins were outside near the apartment. The bedrooms are on the first floor and the bathrrom, living room and kitchen are upstairs. This floor plan works very well to allow people to sleep while others are awake/active. Our hosts provided maps and brochures about Edinburgh and we had access to cereal, tea, coffee, and milk - just like home. Our hosts were very easy to contact and they made sure that we were comfortable and had everything we needed during our visit. We would definitely stay here again.
