A short distance away from Princes Street by bus, the apartment is located on the fourth floor of a block in a quiet neighbourhood. There are no lifts so brace yourself if you have heavy luggage. The host is friendly and always ready to help. The apartment is functional - television, kitchen with supplies, washing machine, drying rack, wifi, heating. Though small, it was sufficient for the four of us who stayed during the Edinburgh festival and we had a good time there. There is a Sainsbury's within 7 minutes from the apartment and several food shops along the same stretch.
