Beautiful, spacious and comfortable flat in a very quiet neighborhood. Great location with good nearby bus connections to the city centre, and just a few minutes walk from a number of shops, cafes and restaurants in Morningside and Bruntsfield Road. The flat was warm (and heating controls easy to adjust), the kitchen was well equipped, and there was a good shower. Good and timely communications from the agents, told us everything we needed to know - and check in and out instructions were very clear and easy to follow. A good selection of books about Scottish artists and galleries, plus many other books and DVDs on the shelves. There is no shortage of parking meter space in nearby streets (in a Northerly and Westerly direction). Residents parking bays operate in Mardale Crescent itself 24/7, but the nearby parking meter spaces operate from 8.30 to 5.30 Monday to Friday only - so would not be a problem to find free parking in nearby streets for a weekend visit if arriving after 5.30pm on a Friday and leaving early on the Monday - and you can also pay to park on the meter for up to 4 hours maximum. We would thoroughly recommend this flat and would be very happy to stay there again when we return to Edinburgh
