We stayed during Hogmanay. But we didnt have any plans, tickets etc. But we still were able to enjoy the fireworks from the apartment because of the reflection from across the street. So we stayed inside, drank champagne and watched the windows across the way. Very cool. The apartment was very comfortable. Loved the location. Restaurants and coop nearby. Its a bit of a hike getting upstairs with luggage but that wont be a problem for everyone. I would definitely book again.
