We had a wonderful time in Carly's apartment.
It is located close to the center but not in it, which is perfect.
The place itself is spacious and it has all the amenities you need.
In the afternoon, on sunny days, we enjoyed the warmth beaming inside.
You'll find plenty of shops around, a Tesco is around the corner, as well as cafes and restaurants.
Edinburgh is very walkable. If you like art, most museums are free to enter.
And if you want to hike, there are hills nearby.
