This is a fab spot to call home while in Edinburgh. It is central yet off the beaten path so no loud partiers below your windows as you try to sleep. The main bedroom looks out over a courtyard which is very quiet, however the living room where the second bed is looks over a train station. While we were sitting there during the day we could slightly hear the announcements over the PA, don't know what it is like at night tho. The layout of this apartment is quirky and functional. I enjoyed the space both for relaxing after a long day and for getting some work done while looking over the stunning view from the windows. Also, important to note are the four flights of stairs needed to climb to get to the apartment. It was difficult with suitcases but a nice stretch at the end of the day. Stuart as a host is responsive and interactive. A great person to rent from!
