The neighbourhood is really nice and quiet. One can find nearby independent deli&cafe shops, good pub bars and gourmet restaurants. The flat is located in the new town centre, very close to George Street. Every touristic attraction/site is within 5-20mins walking distance. Closest train station is Haymarket. Edinburgh-Waverley is not far (7-10mins bus drive depending on traffic). Sarah, our host, was really kind and helpful. She is also provided us with some great tips about restaurants and cafes! The apartment is newly refurbished, well decorated with modern kitchen/bathroom fittings. It can easily accommodate a couple for a long weekend or a professional for a week. I fully recommend.
