We stayed in the apartment for five nights so that we could visit places in the area. Having a parking space was a huge plus as we didn’t want to have to spend time finding parking or even to have to pay for parking. The location of the apartment was good for us - we had trips out to Leith, Portobello beach, Edinburgh zoo, Rosslyn chapel and of course into the city itself. We got an Uber taxi to the Old Town for less than £5.
The apartment is so spacious and very comfortable. It was warm and it was great to have the option of throwing open the doors to the balcony. The block was quiet and we rarely saw or heard other residents. We didn’t eat out in the evenings but stayed in and cooked. There’s a Tesco Express just a short walk down the road and other larger supermarkets a short drive away. Whilst there are the basics in the kitchen such as pans it would have been useful to have a few extra items, e.g measuring jug, colander/ sieve to make it a bit easier.
We would definitely stay in the apartment if we were to visit Edinburgh again.
