The apartment is even more attractive than the photos. The high ceilings and large windows make it beautifully bright and airy, even on a cloudy day. The location is excellent, near many restaurants and boutiques, and a fifteen minute walk to the Edinburgh Castle. There is a small cafe immediately adjacent to the apartment for breakfast options. There is some street noise - most notably, a constantly beeping crosswalk, but it is easy enough to get accustomed to this. The apartment is nicely equipped and furnished with care. We particularly appreciated small touches like the magnifying mirror in the bathroom, and being supplied with soaps and paper products. This is a high-end rental and it met all of our expectations.
