This is a great apartment to use as a base for exploring Edinburgh. Very walkable to Old Town and easy bus access further afield. The flat itself is simply appointed, but has all the essentials and a few extras (like a washing machine). It is on a fairly noisy thoroughfare, but the bedroom is in the back of the flat and surprisingly quiet. We were particularly grateful for the very early check-in as we had a red eye flight and were much more jetlagged than anticipated. There was some light food crumbs/stains from the previous guest, but I'm sure that was only because we were let into the flat much earlier than anticipated, and Alex was very kind and communicative as we sorted it out.
