We really enjoyed our stay in Edinburgh, partly due to the location and style of this apartment. It takes about 15 min to walk to Old town/ royal mile, but since we stayed for 6 days, it was nice to be in more of a local neighborhood- close to many nice cafes and restaurants. The apartment is spacious, has lots of sunlight during the day, and is well-equipped with anything you would need (especially in the kitchen). Host was responsive to our needs too. I would recommend this place to anyone who has more than a couple days to explore Edinburgh and wants to be close enough but not smack in the middle of all the tourist action.
