This is a fantastic apartment in a great location with really responsive, friendly hosts. Everything was simple and easy - Greig replied speedily to all queries and met us on arrival, talking us through everything we needed to know. He showed us the short cut up to Calton Hill at the rear of the apartment which proved really useful on the night of the annual Beltane Fire Festival, when the area is transformed into a torch-lit pagan celebration.
From the flat we were well positioned to climb Arthur’s Seat, visit the Scottish Parliament and wander the entertainments of The Royal Mile. The Castle, The National Gallery and shopping on Princes St are all within a 15 minute stroll. We particularly enjoyed our breakfasts at The Edinburgh Larder - well worth booking a table. We also visited Valvona and Crolla for delicious anti-pasti, cheeses and wine which we could enjoy on the balcony with it’s fab view of Calton Hill.
Everything in the apartment is new, clean and in great working order. The bed was comfy, the flat has good temperature control and the shower is hot and powerful (not always a feature in the older part of town). We were lucky with the weather and were able to enjoy the balcony but even on a gloomy day the flat would be full of light. A great place to come back to after enjoying this amazing city.
