Staying in this apartment is like taking a trip back in time but with all the comforts of modern day. It truly does not get better than waking up to a view straight out to the castle or over the city to the sea. Not to mention walking out the door and straight out to the Royal Mile via a quiet garden street. The sounds of bagpipes through an open window in the morning also adds to the experience.
We spent one week in the apartment. During our stay we were a family of five, of which three are teens, in addition to a retired couple joining us. There was absolutely enough room for all of us. The lounge was a great place to relax together at the end of the day. We did not do any extensive cooking, but did eat breakfast each day in the kitchen and had some smaller warm items in the evenings. The kitchen was well-equipped with many pans, utensils, etc. The appliances worked well. Great to have a washing machine and dryer for a longer stay.
The bathrooms are modern and the beds were comfortable.

Those staying here should enjoy a bit of hike - both uphill to get to the apartment building, but also up the four flights of stairs once inside the building. If you look upon this as good exercise to allow you to eat a bit more at the pub, you will gladly climb to enjoy the quiet retreat and ambience of this apartment.
David and his property manager were well organized and accommodating. We were able to change our times for meeting and were willing to assist with some help mid-week.
We would absolutely recommend a stay here for anyone wishing an extra special experience in Edinburgh.
