We really enjoyed our stay in Derek's apartment. It was a lovely comfortable apartment in a very good location. The bathroom was beautiful. It had heated floors, a beautiful big bath and a big shower. The kitchen was clean and modern. The apartment is convenient to all the main attractions. It's right near Calton Hill, the Palace of Holyroodhouse and Arthur's Seat. It's also not far from Edinburgh Castle and the Royal Mile. I would stay here again if I visited Edinburgh. Derek was also good with communication and answered any questions I had.
TIP: parking is not available at the apartment. You need to park on the street and between 8:30 AM and 5:30 PM it is metered parking and you can only park for four hours maximum at a time. As we didn't want to use the car while we were sightseeing we parked the car during the day at the Sainsbury's supermarket car park which is only about an eight minute walk from the apartment. Then when we came back to the apartment at the end of the day we would move the car to the street parking around the corner from the apartment after 5:30 PM when it was free. This way we didn't have to worry about the expensive parking costs and it also meant we didn't have to keep moving the car every four hours because the parking attendants are out all the time checking.
