We loved Susie's apartment but it's too easy to say "it's wonderful" without explaining why it's so good. To me it's matter of thinking about what you want from the accommodation and experience so that's what I will try to describe. The apartment is in a great, central location. Very important for exploring the city. It is also very close to Broughton Street which is full of great pubs, restaurants etc. It is, however, very quiet indeed, tucked away on a quiet and leafy square. So the location ticks all the boxes. Susie offers a bed with a private bathroom. The bed is very comfortable indeed, the bedroom really attractive, immaculate and full of thoughtful touches such as: an umbrella "just in case" maps and tourist information, a posy of fresh flowers, water bottles on each bedside table, good lighting, a full length mirror, plenty of coat hangers and drawer space, a hairdryer, a torch on the key fob, a map on the wall showing where the guests hail from,slippers and warm socks, hot water bottles(certainly not needed as the apartment is so cosy). The private bathroom adjoining the bedroom is also immaculate and full of goodies. The shower works really well, lots of towels and a great, illuminated mirror. Guests have use of Susie's very tastefully decorated sitting room and well appointed kitchen. Lots of magazines in the former and everything you could need in the latter. So the accommodation ticks all the boxes and the little additional touches makes all the difference. Finally Susie is such a great host achieving exactly the right balance between being available for hints and tips yet leaving you to enjoy the peace and serenity of the apartment. A fine balance perfectly and sensitively achieved. So the host ticks all the boxes. For us everything about our stay was perfect, it felt like staying with a friend who happens to have a beautiful apartment in a great part of Edinburgh. As long as Susie continues to offer the accommodation, that is where we will stay when visiting Edinburgh.
