This flat was a recommendation from an acquaintance. She certainly steered us to the right place for us. It was our first trip to Edinburgh, so we were really trusting her recommendation. The flat was clean, stylish and within a mile of all the main tourist areas. There were a couple really nice welcoming touches; a bottle of wine, a lovely loaf of fresh bread and some nice chocolates. We were within a block of the Haymarket Station, so got off the train and walked straight to the flat. Paul met us there and showed us around briefly. That worked for us because we had been traveling from London all day. There's a Thrifty car rental location within 2 blocks. It was perfect for the one day we really needed a car. There are several good options for picking up food to cook, take-away or dine in within just a couple blocks. If we have the opportunity to return, we'll definitely come back to this flat, and certainly recommend it to others.
