We loved our weekend at The Writers Pad. It is in a beautiful part of New Town proper, in a slightly raised basement of a beautiful Georgian Building with it's own front door and a lovely garden at the back. There is plenty of light and it is immaculately decorated. It is very quiet with zero traffic noise. You can walk everywhere from there with ease and we did. We walked all over New Town, Princes Street is only 15 mins away, even over the Mound to the Old Town is easy. The host was attentive and helpful and the apartment has everything that you could need. Tip: To get the music system to work, you first have to select whether you are using the cable or the Bluetooth on the side of one of the speakers (it took me a while to work that out). We hope to return. Thank you.
