We booked the apartment specifically as a base for the Edinburgh Fringe 2020 and had to postpone the booking to 2021. We were lucky that the fringe took place and that the apartment was close to the venues.
There was good WIFI in the flat. This was important as we were constantly booking shows as they were added to the fringe. (And some of our group wanted to play computer games)
The property is the start of the Old Town with the Castle visible from the front door. It’s close to a Sainsbury's local and restaurants, cafes and bars. The trams are within walking distance, as are the buses. There is a nearby bus direct to Jupiter Park, which is worth a day trip.
The station is a longer walk, but no further than the fringe venues. We even made it with cases!
We were met at the flat and given a set of keys per couple. The apartment was spacious with plenty of room for the 6 of us. Double beds for each couple and a bathroom with shower plus a shower room, so no waiting for showers in the morning. The kitchen/diner/lounge was a great meeting point for eating and playing games.
The only down side was the stairs. It is a 3rd floor apartment with no lift. We’ve stayed in Edinburgh New Town before and were used to this but were surprised by how many steps there were to climb.
