We were met by Janice, the housekeeper, who was friendly and welcoming and made sure we were happy with the apartment and understood how everything worked.

The apartment is FABULOUS and far exceeded our expectations. It is extremely well equipped: luxury kitchen and spacious lounge with comfortable sofas. The main bedroom has a superking-sized bed. The bathroom has all the usual requirements: bath/shower/toilet/wash basin plus bidet and has the added bonus of underfloor heating and ... a steam room facility within the shower stall ... what luxury! The only slightly disappointing thing we experienced was that the second bedroom is small and had only a "put you up" bed. I understand that this was a temporary arrangement though as the "proper" bed had been broken.

The situation of the apartment was great, being very central and offering easy access to shops, restaurants and bars. It was a little noisy (we were there when Edinburgh hosted a big rugby match so lots of people around throughout the night) but the bedrooms are double glazed so it wasn't really an issue - and the convenience of the flat's position bang in the centre of Edinburgh far outweighed any noise problem.

All in all I would thoroughly recommend this apartment and would happily stay there again.
