Fabulous! We feel lucky to have gone with this option. The apartment is literally on the Royal Mile! The communication with Allan was exceptional - he responded quickly to ALL inquiries, even small ones like the type of coffee maker. The amenities were excellent -- from basics to extras that really made this a very easy and relaxing experience. The space was perfect for a family. Two rooms and the kitchen/living room separate with a door to help with any noise. We loved having the bay window to watch people up and down the Royal Mile. We were lucky to be there when the queen was in residence so got glimpse at all the activities related to that. For access from airport, take bus 100 from airport to Waverley (main train station), then a 10 minute walk to apartment. For food, we used the Tesco Express on Southbridge (~10-15 min walk). For activities .. lots to choose from! This apartment experience made us wish we had a few more days in Edinburgh.
