Stayed for a week during the Edinburgh Festival and everything lived up to our expectations. This is a beautiful, modern apartment with a stunning view that is an absolute pleasure! It was spotlessly clean, had lovely bed linens and towels and has all modern conveniences, including parking. We had no problems at all during our stay and our host, Gill, was very charming. After busy days at the Festival the apartment was a haven of peace and quiet.
A short walk through the Royal Park brings you to Holyrood Palace and the bottom of the Royal mile in less than 10 mins. You can be in the city centre on Princes Street in less than 30 mins on foot. Sainsburys is 5 mins away by car and there is a small newsagents about 100 metres away.
As well as enjoying everything the Festival had to offer we took a walk up the Crags to admire the view of the city, had a lovely meal down in Portobello (10mins drive away) and spent an afternoon in South Queensferry which has great views of the Forth Bridges and some lovely shops and restaurants. We have visited Edinburgh many times and there is so much to do and see within a short walk or drive of this apartment. The Royal Yacht Britannia would be high on our list of recommendations.
The cost of renting this place increases noticeably during the Festival but it's the same everywhere and for a family of 4 we found it compared well with budget hotels but offered so much more. We would definitely stay here again.
