Highly recommended staying here. Karen was the perfect host. The apartment is great. In an excellent location, easy walking distance to anything you want to see in Edinburgh. The building is an old building but the kitchen is recently renovated, and the rest of the apartment is very very clean. There are 80 steps as mentioned but they are not difficult to climb. The views from the bathroom, kitchen, and bedroom are beautiful. The apartment is very spacious- enough room for six people. Karen and her brother Paul were great hosts, very friendly, helpful, and welcoming. Communication was always easy and Karen was quick to respond to any of my questions. She even let us store our bags after check out. Thank you Karen and Paul.
