This is the most amazing apartment! We happened to be here during several gloriously clear days in July and the view was phenomenal. When we weren't exploring the city from this exceptionally central location we were staring out the windows at the breathtaking view of New Town and the Firth of Forth laid out before us. At night the sunsets were breathtaking. During the day we could sit on the couch with the windows open and hear the parades and bagpipers in the park down below. The hosts should count themselves lucky that we brought ourselves to leave at all.

The apartment is just around the corner from the castle and the Old Town. The walk into New Town was a delightfully short jaunt. There are many steps up the apartment, which was not a problem for us. The flat was impeccably clean upon our arrival and well outfitted with utensils and cooking implements, a comfortable bed, iron and board, washer/dryer and dishwasher all in good functioning order. The WiFi worked adequately, though the connection was not always so speedy. That seemed to be an issue with the provider, not anything to do with the apartment. We had absolutely no problem with the plumbing. All in all, staying here made our first trip to Edinburgh just perfect. We hope to come back soon.
