If you're looking to enjoy a neighborhood of Edinburgh and "live like a local" while also being a quick walk to the city centre, this is the spot for you! The apartment is clean and cozy and located conveniently in the neighborhood of Stockbridge, just a short 15-minute walk to the castle and all the sights you could possibly want to see.
The flat is well decorated, and the beds were the comfiest of all of our various stops in Scotland. My wife remarked that this flat felt the most like "home," with thoughtful touches throughout that make it feel elevated but also easy to occupy and enjoy like it's your own. There's a grocery store across the street and coffee shops and restaurants all less than a minute away—including some of our favorite spots in the entire city. And the washing machine is a huge plus for those on a long journey in need of such a perk!
Be mindful it is a walkup (the norm in all of Europe). However, for the price, location, and style, this will be tough to beat. Our host was very easy to reach, made sure we were comfortably checked in and answered all of our questions. We will absolutely be back!
