Our stay at Karin's apartment was fantastic. The apartment itself was beautifully decorated and very clean. It is in a great location--very near the Palace of Holyroodhouse and Arthur's Seat and within easy walking distance from Waverley Station. The bus to Ocean Terminal, which is what you take to see the Royal Yacht, is basically a few feet from the entrance. Another nice feature is the washer/dryer that is actually inside the apartment--this was a unique feature that wasn't offered at any of the other places we stayed at on our trip. Karin provides a card that gets you into a gym/spa/pool nearby in one of the nicest hotels in Edinburgh. We didn't have time to use it, but it is a very nice touch. There is a tea room next door that was highly rated in our guide book (Rick Steves). Karin contacted us to see when we would be arriving and gave us instructions for the lock box to get into the apartment. I would highly recommend this apartment to anyone looking for a place in Edinburgh.
