The apartment is located in a fantastic location, very close to the castle and right on The Royal Mile. It is also close to the Waverly Train Station so it was super easy to catch the 100 AirLink from the airport and back to the airport for 7 GBP round trip. From the apartment you are quickly able to explore the Castle, Royal Mile, and all other key sights returning easily to pick up or drop off jackets or purchases.
The apartment was modestly furnished but was equipped with a basic/hard bed with a thin mattress for my taste. The kitchen was well equipped, a good stove, coffee/tea pot, microwave, etc, as well as spices and some other essentials. The living room was equipped with a good TV, some games, and lots of videos for the DVD player. However, the couch has seen better days, it is a bit old and worn. Unfortunately, internet WiFi access was very slow during our stay and proved to be a frustrating experience as we did not have roaming at the time and solely depended on free wifi around town or at night to book tours and research activities.
All in all it was a good stay and we enjoyed the apartment and Edinburgh.
