We could not imagine a more perfect place. We were a family of 5 two active boys, two parents, and a spry grandmother. Rachel left us many small items to make the stay convenient (e.g. a pint of milk so we could have coffee), her sister Claire met us to hand off the key and give us the low down. We loved being less than 3 blocks to Calton Hill and the walks to the Royal Mile and Arthur's Seat were easy. The apartment was comfortable and a little funky as billed (the art was delightful). We headed to Boughton for food and groceries (the organic place was a bit pricey but the folks were so nice we went back several times). The boys (7 & 8) LOVED the place and were very sad when we had to move on. The neighborhood was ideal - close but quiet. The beds were comfortable and the place immaculate. We highly recommend this to anyone spending a few days in Edinburgh.
