The apartment is quite spacious and ground floor which is convenient. It is down a side street so it wasn't noisy. The traffic noise from the main road could be heard a bit but it wasn't disturbing at all. It is in a great location just about 200mtrs and you are on the Meadows. There is a well stocked supermarket about 5 mins walk away. If you are into re-cycling (which we are) there are bins for bottles and other recyclables just across the street.
It's about 10 to 15 mins walk to Princess Street and it is also about equidistant between Haymarket and Waverley train stations (about 25mins walk to either).
The start of the canal is about 10 mins away and is great for an evening stroll.
Good base to explore the city.
