Really lovely apartment--it's even prettier than it looks in the pictures. The location is perfect as it is between Old and New town so everything is accessible. It's quiet and tucked away so that you still have peace in the bustle of Edinburgh, but it's walking distance to all the important places. Catherine was communicative and clear about how to get the key, and the place was clean with linens, shampoo/conditioner, washer/dryer, and all the things one needs while traveling!!!
