We had a great time at James’ apartment. We chose this apartment as it ticked all the boxes; notably budget, location and comfort. The apartment is located on the east side of town just the other side of Calton Hill. It’s a 20 minute walk to the bottom of Arthur’s Seat and a 25 minute walk to the city centre. There are plenty of amenities nearby from shops to pubs (we second James’ recommendation for The Regent pub). The weather was a bit nippy when we visited but this has been catered for with a small heater ready for use in the bedroom – we recommend popping it on once you return for the evening so the room is warm in time for bed. The apartment is a great size, easy to find and access with homely touches such as James’ custom map and thoughtful breakfast supplies. The bathroom manages to squeeze in everything you need and has an additional heater to make up for its lack of radiator.
We thoroughly recommend James’ apartment and would check its availability when looking at future visits to Edinburgh.
