A friend and I stayed at this lovely flat for 2 weeks. The apartment is in a very quiet, convenient neighborhood. It is less than a two minute walk from the Bruntsfield Links in the Bruntsfield neighborhood. There are several restaurants, cafes and shops for groceries less than a 10 minute walk away. It is about a 20-30 minute walk to either Princes Street or the Royal Mile, or 15-20 minutes by bus.

Accessibility wise, there are a couple of steps up to the front door. The flat is on the second floor (first floor for Americans). The hallways are a bit narrow so it might be a hard to get around if you have some sort of mobility device. There is only a tub/shower combination so you would have to step up into the tub. However, this was not an issue for us.

The flat was very clean upon check in, and also well stocked with everything we needed (aside from groceries of course). We did have to top up toilet paper and paper towels from the shop after a couple of days. There is a washer for laundry, you will need to provide your own detergent if you plan to use it. The bedrooms were very comfortable, plenty of closet and dresser space, and nightstands close to outlets to charge your devices. The living room is also very comfortable, I fell asleep on the sofas several times. The lighting in the bathroom is great for getting ready, there is even a magnified mirror provided. There was also lots of storage space in the bathroom to put away toiletries. There was shampoo, conditioner, and soap provided, but we had our own so we didn’t use it. There is instant hot water throughout the flat, which is great for those chilly mornings. My friend did have to work from home for a few days and she found the kitchen table to be a nice spot to attend zoom meetings and work from. The wifi is a little spotty in the two bedrooms, but fine throughout the rest of the flat. The building is quiet, and we never heard the neighbors, nor any noise from outside. We did have a car rental for a weekend and had no problem finding free parking nearby.

The only complaint I had was the key retrieval process. The lockbox is close by, however it is not within the line of sight of the front of the building. If you only have a bag, or arrive with someone, it’s fine. Unfortunately, I arrived alone and had several bags. Unless you want to lug your bags down the street, grab the keys, and then lug them back up to the building you’ll have to leave your bags on the sidewalk or the entry way and walk down the street where you can’t see them to retrieve/replace the keys from a lockbox. Although the neighborhood is safe, I wasn’t too comfortable with just leaving my bags out in the open unattended.

Overall, we very much enjoyed our stay and would not hesitate to book again!
