Our family of five (two adults, three kids ages 10-12) had a nice stay here. The apartment is charming in its age and decor, and was a relaxing place to come home to at the end of our long days. While Petrea wasn't able to meet us upon arrival, she arranged for a neighbor to do so, and our check-in was flawless. She was very communicative (and quick) and helpful with my questions. We chose to take the bus to the far end of the Royal Mile, and if you time your trip with an arriving bus, I think we were probably 30-35 minutes door to door. The upside is that the apartment has lovely views of Holyrood Park, and is on a quiet street with abundant parking (on the weekend at least, when we were there). It's maybe a 10-minute hike to St. Anthony's Chapel Ruins on Arthur's Seat. The only meaningful problem we encountered was a bathroom sink faucet that only ran cold water, which Petrea has since told me was fixed, and I have no reason to doubt her. The rear bedroom with the futon is small, but worked well for our kid. The clothes washer and dryer worked well, and the Wi-Fi was super fast. We would stay here again if we're fortunate enough to return to Edinburgh.
