My husband and I stayed for a week over Christmastime. Great location: you can walk to almost any Edinburgh destination from this apartment, and plenty of places to eat and drink are mere steps away. Great host: Ben sent well-timed messages with everything I needed to know, and he accommodated my weird request for a fan, and he surprised us with mince pies and a bottle of champagne. Very comfortable living area: a nice couch where you can put your feet up and watch TV or surf the internet. There's a nice space in the bedroom to put luggage/clothes and good bedside tables with lamps on both sides. Kitchen has most of what you would need (although I don't recommend trying to cook anything elaborate--but simple meals would be no problem). FYI: No dishwasher. Thanks again to Ben for providing a really nice place for the holidays and being a fab host.
