We were really happy with the apartment! The living room was more spacious than expected, the big windows are lovely, and we appreciated being able to adjust the heat. The location is great! Right down the street from Haymarket station, where we caught a train to Glasgow, a bus to the airport, and a bus to over near the castle, but we walked most of the time. I wouldn't call the main tourist attractions "close" if your idea of close is a super short walk, but it was typically about 20 minutes and we did it many times. The area near the apartment has a bunch of great restaurants too (I loved Wine and Peach), grocery store, etc. We think the apartment was a great value, and check-in/-out were very easy.
