The flat was our destination for the week of Christmas, 2013, and it was all that could be desired. It is clean, comfortable and efficient with plenty of room for our traveling party and all the up-to-date amenities that anyone could desire. The location was perfect for our last-minute Christmas shopping, handy to great dining (and drinking), especially well-placed for our evening at the theater, and very convenient to grocery shopping on those mornings and evenings when we chose to cook for ourselves in the well-supported kitchen. We arrived by train, and the flat is close to the station. We had no difficulties with taxis finding the site when we ordered ahead, and no difficulty flagging cabs on the nearby major streets when needed on impromptu visits to Edinburgh's major attractions. In fine weather, you can easily stroll along the Waters of Leith, and to the Royal Botantic Garden. Quite simply, we couldn't have chosen better!
