This is the perfect base from which to explore Edinburgh. It's In the heart of the city and within a walk or stroll to all the sights and interesting areas. Our host Rebecca had emailed easy to follow detailed instructions, so check in was straightforward even though we arrived in the early hours of the morning. We parked directly outside the entrance each evening. There was always space and it was unrestricted from 1830-0830. The parking metre is on the Ringo app (12013) so from 0830 you can pay for up to 3 hours from your bed.
This lovely apartment is at the top of the building, up several flights of stairs. It is clean, comfortable, stylish and beautifully decorated, it had everything we needed. The kitchen is well equipped and the lounge is very relaxing. The 2 bathrooms (the ensuite shower is great) made life easy for a family of 4 and a grandmother. The double room, twin room and single were perfect, beds comfortable with good quality bedding.
Thistle street has at least 5 fantastic restaurants (do book ahead) and a great pub (Thistle Street bar) so after a day of walking you don't have to go far for a lovely evening out.
Rebecca responded quickly and helpfully to messages. I highly recommend her apartment as a great place to stay, we felt very lucky to have found it.
