Excellent location and very comfortable! The principal sites in both the Old and New Towns are within easy walking distance due to the central location of the apartment near the Scottish Parliament. Up several flights of stairs, the apartment has interesting views in three directions. Thank you, Richard, for your help and for the very generous "welcome kit of groceries" and the vase of flowers which added to the home-away-from-home feeling. I would highly recommend this apartment and hope to be back!
