The apartment is spacious and comfortable, very well equipped and in a great location for Princes St and all the shops and restaurants in the center. Buses stopping outside go up to the Mound and National Gallery and beyond, and in the other direction stop at the Botanic Gardens, which are well worth visiting. Communication with the host was excellent, and it was nice that we were given flexibility on check in and check out times. All in all an excellent base for a visit to Edinburgh.
