Truly excellent location in Edinburgh and the castle was literally outside our window only about two blocks away! Many great tourist sites are within walking distance and both city and tour buses stop very close by. Stephanie was an excellent hostess and the place was perfect for our four-person family. She mentioned the flat is expected to be refurbished in the near future. So it should look even more up to date when that is completed. Many, many positives about staying at this flat. The only two negatives were no air conditioning (only open, no screened windows) which is common in Europe and the dryer did not work in the washer/dryer combined unit in the kitchen. We hung dry clothes throughout the apartment as needed. However, those were very minor inconveniences for an otherwise great place. You will surely enjoy staying here!
