We used Alexander ‘s apartment for a family get together, and it was perfect for this occasion. It is very well located within easy walking distance to the city centre. However there are loads of amenities in the local area, including bars, restaurants, cafes and supermarkets. Only thing to be aware of is the 60 steps to the apartment (which was no surprise as it was well advertised). One other major positive for me was the parking facility, we have stayed in apartment ‘s in Edinburgh where parking has been a real issue, and taxis to the city was only £7 for 5 of us (cheaper than the bus)
