We had a wonderful stay in the apartment. It is exactly as described, and we echo the comments of other guests - it is smart, comfortable, excellently equipped and furnished. A 10 minute walk from the heart of the city in a quiet and pleasant area. The information provided pre-arrival was welcome and comprehensive. We did not need to contact the host, but are confident that had we had to do so we would have had an excellent response. We would recommend the apartment and the hosts to anyone visiting Edinburgh, especially for the first time.
