Let's see - we had a clear view of the start of the Salisbury Crags beneath Arthur's Seat, the Scottish Parliament building, and Holyrood House. Dawn broke over the Crags into our window. The flat was very modern and clean and fully stocked with the right appliances to make our stay comfortable. Wireless internet was very strong. The heat was available to easily turn on if needed. The shower was fine. There was a Tesco within a few minutes walk and the bottom of the Royal Mile was a 10 minute walk away. The start of the trail up the Crags to the seat was also 10 minutes walk away.

Helen and her daughter were there to meet us to help us navigate our way to the flat. They were both very friendly and never looked over our shoulder while we were there. Access to the flat was easy from an entrance that was closer to things which was different from the main entrance to the building.

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our short stay in this fine city and Helen's flat was key to that experience. The only quibble I have would be the bed is a might springy for anyone with a bad back (which I have - but it did not take away from the pleasure of being there)
