We can highly recommend this property. It worked very well for pur family group of parents, two under 5s and a granny, but would equally suit two couples. The flat has been renovated, decorated and furnished to a high standard but it also retains the charm of its age. The kitchen is well equipped with a good supply of crockery and cooking items, and offered a few staples like tea and coffee.
The three flights of stairs are a challenge but the children loved them! Even Granny coped.
The location is great. We had some lovely walks around the Salisbury Crags and to Calton Hill, and it is close to Holyrood and the lower end of the Royal Mile. There were also local buses although we dud not use them.
General tips for visitors - do not miss the Castle and allow ample time to visit; go behind the main streets and explore the smaller back streets; enjoy the ambiance of the city. I tried out the hop-on, hop-off buses and found them a great way to see all the city and discover where everything is. Inalso did the 3 Bridges bus and boat add on trip and it was superb. Informative and offers great views back to the city.
Petrea was easy to communicate with and very helpful. We were able to arrange an early check in on our first day.
