The perfect base, clean, cosy and convenient. This is a great situation so close to the city centre yet walkable to Leith and we did both. We were there mainly for the Fringe but also walked to Leith to visit Britannia, highly recommended. The walk from Helen’s is lovely along the river on a footpath all the way, just beware of the cyclists!
We walked into town which is quite uphill but not a long walk at all before we were in Princes Street. Because of all the walking around show venues we opted to use the very regular 23 and 27 buses, only five minute journey back to base.
The apartment had all we needed for a short stay, the large bed very comfortable and there was a very convenient tea and coffee, breakfast area. Helen was so helpful in advising us of where to go and what to do and tidied our little kitchenette every day. We would definitely return here on our next visit, perfect base for the Fringe or general sightseeing.
As an aside, the Chinese restaurant around the corner was busy but excellent and the steak pie at the local Orchard pub was the best I’ve had for a long time!
