We booked for a weekend stay for a friends 40th. We took a tram from airport to Princes Street and then walked from there to the apartment. Although we were not prepared for the hills and many steps which was not great with suitcases. We later discovered that it would only have been about £18 for a taxi to the apartment so I would definitely do that next time.
The location of the apartment is great and near to shops and restaurants. Also a short walking distance to the Traverse Theatre which we would highly recommend.
We were a little surprised on arrival at the apartment block but don't be put off by the appearance of the dark stairwell as the apartment is lovely and just as described. It's well lit, and clean and tidy with fantastic view of Edinburgh Castle from the front of the apartment.
The hosts were great and this was truly an easy stay from start to finish.. Would definitely recommend.
