Beautiful apartment in a perfect location steps from the middle of the royal mile. Very comfortable apartment with plenty of space...very clean and updated with a great kitchen and nice touches by Kitty to make it feel like home.
The apartment Is a bit tough to find the first time but you’ll quickly understand the exact location.
Kitty was a great host who shared valuable information with us. She also stocked the apartment with essentials. There are markets nearby as well as lots of restaurants and bars.
It was our first time in Edinburgh and we loved it. The people are very nice, prices are fair and you can walk everywhere. The Royal Mile is great to see, but it’s pretty touristy. If you walk south from the apartment you’ll find “cowsgate” which is a younger hipper area with lots of cool bars and restaurants with live music, etc.
Be aware that there lots of steps in Edinburgh and elevation changes. It may be difficult for older people or people with physical issues to navigate.
There is a lot of history in Edinburgh and the outlying areas. Lots of tours are available.
The only negative comment is that the WiFi in the apartment is not good at all. Keep this in mind if you need to work while on vacation. I needed to go to Starbucks (5 minute walk) to get a workable signal.
