This is a lovely, immaculately clean, like-new apartment. Every detail of this remodel has been carefully executed. Every appliance, light fixture, and accessory was in excellent working condition. Very comfortable double bed in the bedroom. Bunk beds in the alcove off of the living room a bit firm, but fine for young people!
The kitchen had everything we needed and more. We loved the window seats!
The location was very central, looking right across to the castle and the head of the Royal Mile. (We did not spend any time on the Royal Mile, but the location is great for connecting to all other parts of the city)
Even though it is in a busy area there is not any street noise at night, especially with the windows closed.
Out the front door to your left about a block away are stairs that lead directly down to Cowgate and the Grassmarket area, where you can get some fantastic Italian food (Made in Italy), hang out in a fun pub (Brew Dog) , and shop for vintage clothes.
The location is also close enough to the train station at Waverly that you can walk to the apartment from there in about 10 minutes. From there you can also catch the bus that takes you back to the airport.
The host David is very gracious and accommodating!
(If you do book, be advised that there are 4 flights of stairs from the street to the apartment)
