Although I didn't personally meet Linda (my friends checked in), she was a great host, being very flexible for the time of arrival and departure, advising on groceries stores and even arranging a baby high chair to make the stay confortable for everyone.
The location of the apartment is ideal to visit "downtown" Edinburgh as it is just a few minutes walk away from the main attractions while being in a very calm neighborhood.
The apartment itself looks a wee bit older than the photos might suggest but nothing to worry about, it's part of it's charm and the view on the castle at sunset is just gorgeous. There are 3 bedrooms so everybody can have some privacy and the common space are large enough to hold everyone at once. The beds are confortable and the laundry facility and the dish washer are a plus if you are traveling with your family. The only slight backdraw we had was the limited kitchenwear given the size of our traveling party of 5 adults and 3 kids and our desire to cook "at home" in the evening to suit the kids rhythm.
