Lukes place is a well located apartment in a large complex which has excellent security. An outside gate with a coded entry leads you to another key box lock outside the apartment. We loved having a washer in the unit as we had been traveling for over a week when we arrived. We felt nicely embedded with the locals in this apartment and enjoyed the area being close to everything yet out of the main tourist path. Upon arrival we found a very detailed notebook with lots of recommendations for local eateries and detailed info about getting around including maps and laminated lists etc. Luke has gone out of his way to provide this nice introduction to Edinburgh. The apartment is nicely decorated and while not brand new, has been well maintained and cleaned. The apartment has lots of space and a hallway to the bedroom with doors which is great if someone wants to stay up late and read or has jet lag. Be aware you will need to carry your luggage up a few flights of stairs but they are not steep and have big landings. There are peek-a-boo views of the castle and broad views from the outdoor and courtyard area. Beautiful City!!
