This is a artistically furnished well lit apartment a good place to stay if you've got to work as i had as there's a desk in one of the bedrooms as well as the kitchen table. Its really close to a beautiful beach and to all the cafes and shops of Portobello. Its a little bit spartan in terms of soft furnishing/blankets etc and the layout is non-standard with one of the bedrooms housing a long sofa and a big flat screen TV. The kitchen is really well equipped. Bathroom has a half bath so if you like a soak this is not the place for you. This is the third place I've hired in Portobello and it was by far the best in terms of decor and homeliness - you really feel like you are staying in someone's home not in a rental. Its on the second floor of a tenement block but the other tenants were not noisy and were very friendly. There is noise from a pub on the beach at night so beware if you're noise sensitive on the other hand you can hear the sea from one of the bedrooms which is a beautiful sound to listen to.
