This is such a great location, you really can't get too much closer to the centre. Its right at the east side of the 'west end', close to bars and restaurants as well as just 20mins walk from the castle. There's a sainsbury and tescos near by and park g can be easily pre booked, we parked down distillery Lane (10 mins). The appertment is really spacious, there were 6 of us in 3 generous double bedrooms. The feel to the place is relaxing and chilled, with some great art and retro musical memorabilia. Austen was easy to communicate with, no problems at all. We loved it and if we come back to Edinburgh, I hope to be fortunate enough to rent Austen pad again. Thank you so much, we had such a great time.
