Staying in Marta's apartment for a whole week was a complete pleasure. Sometimes we are very glad to escape from a rental, but we were sad to say goodbye to the bright, open sitting area/kitchen, the beautiful floors and the very comfortable bedroom. The bathroom is small, but the shower in the tub is really nice. There were no problems at all and we usually walked everywhere. We did have a car for trips out of the city and always found a parking place. The street is pretty quiet and the windows are new and keep the sound out very well. The walk through Holyrood park to get to the streets with restaurants and shops was nice and took about 10 minutes. This was a really perfect way to visit Edinburgh.
