Couldn't have been happier with Angie and John's place. John checked us in, was there when we arrived and was very friendly. I have to say that the apartment was even nicer than we though it would be based on the pictures. Rose street itself is a great little pedestrian street lined with bars and restaurants (we ate breakfast every morning at the little cafe directly under the apartment) and all main sites were easily walkable from there. Just a note: The apartment is on the second floor and it's a walk-up, but we didn't have any issues and if you want to stay in New or Old Town, you're mostly likely going to have a walk-up. I would recommend this apartment to anyone visiting Edinburgh and would plane to stay there again if I ever have a chance to return.
