Edinburgh was a real surprise; far surpassing our expectations and Dawns apartment was a perfect place to spend our four nights in the city. The apartment is spacious, well fitted and extremely comfortable. We were a bit concerned when we realised it was a "basement" apartment but this was not a negative at all, in fact I think the arrangement added to the comfort. There are large windows which bring in huge amounts of light if required while providing better privacy than you might have in a ground floor location. The apartment was quiet and is in a beautiful suburban location amongst wonderful Georgian buildings. Fully fitted kitchen, lovely bathroom and a washing machine (after several weeks without access to one).

We were able to walk everywhere and there are several good restaurants and pubs nearby. The New Town is a short and pleasant stroll away and the Old Town can be accessed on foot in maybe 15 minutes.

Met Dawn briefly and had a pleasant talk; she lives nearby and is readily available for any problems, not that we had any.
