We really appreciate how much thought was put into making our stay comfortable and relaxing. The apartment has everything we could possibly need, from laundry soap to adhesive tape. We felt safe and secure as well. There is a combination washer/dryer but like most UK washer/dryers it takes a long time to do laundry. We were very glad for the binder Lynne left with instructions on how to use all the appliances. And of course, I don't think you could find a better location. You can easily walk to the Royal Mile and the castle as well as all the major museums. It was loud late into the night from the bar down below but we knew about this from the reviews and we had brought ear plugs. I would stay again.
