Edinburgh is a walkable place and the location of this place is really great! This road is the Kings Mile and connects Edinburgh Castle and the Holyrood Palace. I recommend walking down the hill to the Scottish Parliament and walking around the landscape, cross the street and hike up through the park to Arthur's Seat. I toured the Holyrood Palace and saw a nice garden landscape exhibition in the adjoining Queen's Palace Gallery. The first night that I arrived there was a problem with the heat, but Nikki was very responsive via text messaging and resolved it very quickly by the next morning. I loved cooking in her very clean kitchen. There are interesting views from the front and back of the apartment. The place has two rooms to sleep so two couples could stay here. One of which has a table for eating and a couch. I enjoyed the herb garden behind the apartment. Mimi's up the street has lovely pastries and a good breakfast. There are many places to eat along this street. Also I walked to the train station very easily from here. https://lothianbuses.co.uk/timetables-and-maps/airlink. Airlink was the easiest to take to the airport and this runs from Waverley Station-an easy 20 minute walk from the apartment. The Starbucks was helpful as a location marker since all the cab drivers knew that. Despite being right on the street, I found the location quiet. I would come here again! The location is great!!!
