Morris's place is great. Susan and Grant were our hostess/host and were extremely quick to respond to any inquiries/issues that we had. We appreciated this level of attention very much. This is a very spacious apartment in the heart of Edinburgh. The kitchen was adequately equipped. We cooked breakfast each morning but ate out for lunch/dinner. There are several supermarkets within walking distance...2-3 blocks. We used the dish washer and washer/dryer on a regular basis. You should realize that the washer/dryer is one unit. It's relatively small and takes several hours for washing/drying clothes, so plan accordingly. Because of it's central location there are a lot of pubs/clubs in the immediate vicinity. Rose Street is a block away and has numerous pubs...20 or so. You can't go wrong with the pub food, if that's what you like. The menus do tend to be repetitive, but we had some very good meals there. There are plenty of other restaurants in the area, however, so one can easily break up the monotony of the pub scene. We walked everywhere from this location...Edinburgh Castle, Holyrood House Palace, Edinburgh Univesity, Grassmarket and the Botanical Gardens to name a few. There are lots of hills no matter which direction you go, so if you have ambulatory issues you'll have plenty of access to cabs/uber in this city. If you have a car, parking in Edinburgh is very expensive. We found an App...Your Parking Space...to be very helpful. We rented someones driveway through this App which turned out to be very inexpensive. Street parking by the apartment is about 4 GBP/hour! Finally, one does need to recognize that this apartment is located in central Edinburgh and like any other city in the world there is a vibrant night life. Edinburgh is loaded with pubs and clubs and the neighborhood this apartment is located in is no exception. There will be noise, especially late at night when the clubs are closing on Friday and Saturday nights. For us this really wasn't a major issue. It was a trade off between excellent location and noisy young people late at night. But if you're a light sleeper expecting perfect quiet late at night, this might not be a place for you. My family and friends loved this place and we would stay here again!
Susan and Grant, thanks for a great stay.
