Overall, the stay was lovely with a clean and spacious apartment close to all the action. Nothing about the stay was overtly negative, but I would say there are some pros and cons to weigh to ensure this is the right stay for you.
Pros: Location! Caroline’s place is a stones throw away from all the sites you’ll want to visit in the city. We were able to easily walk anywhere, really helping us get the city feel. Check in was smooth and while there wasn’t any on premise parking, there was an NCP very close by. The apartment was also beautifully decorated and comfortably appointed, with great historic features that had real character.
Cons: You are in the city center and though this stay is not off a major through street, we did experience loud groups of people walking past the apartment very late in the evening (1 and 3 am). After some research we suspected they were tour groups from the Edinburgh vaults (haunted over night tours), but can’t be certain. The apartment is in a historic building complete with quirky old building features which meant sound really traveled. This disturbed our sleep both nights.
All told, I would definitely stay at Caroline’s place again, but maybe only for a one night.
