"Absolutely fab," as my Scottish mates would say. As advertised, this adorable flat is ideally located close to everything. It is a ten minute walk to Edinburgh Castle and five minutes (less actually) from the Waverley train station. Tip: From the airport, take the Airlink double-decker shuttle bus, which runs every ten minutes and has free wifi on board, to waverly station for only £3.50. That puts you nearly at the doorstep.

There is a cute little grocery store just across the street, where we
stocked up on cereal, milk, fruits, etc for breakfast (and late night
snacks). There are also a couple nice, although slightly pricey,
cafes within a hundred metres of the front door if would prefer to
grab an egg and bacon sandwich and a coffee.

You might expect a flat this close to everything to be noisy, but it was just the opposite, amazingly quiet. Of course we were there in early April. I imagine it could be quite different in August for the Edinburgh Festival.

The furnishings and amenities, from fold-out couch to shower, washing machine, oven, tv, heaters, etc were all modern and seemed to be well maintained. It's just as nice if not nicer than portrayed in the photos.

There were two of us staying here. One of us slept in the queen size bed upstairs (although it easily could have slept two), and the other on the fold-out couch downstairs. They were both very comfortable. We slept like babies.

Of course the best feature of the flat is it's owners. Ian was very responsive to all queries and could not be more courteous.
Sandy, his partner, met me at the flat, made some tea and then explained all the little amenities, how everything worked, how to turn things on and off, etc. It felt like we were staying at a friend's place.

If available, I will definitely stay here again.

Cheers again Ian and Sandy!
