The Leith area, near the popular Shore which has lots of pubs and restaurants, is a diverse and busy Edinburgh neighborhood. Free street parking is available but not always easy to find a spot on Pirrie, the street the apartment is on. You have to climb a number of stories to reach the top level that the apartment is on. It is at the end of the hallway, so very quiet and private once you get there.
The apartment is spotless, attractively decorated, and comfortable. With 4 adults, it was lovely having a second full bathroom. Checkout is at 10am, and we were several minutes past trying to get out the door before the hostess had arrived.
