Great location, a 20 minute walk to the city centre, but hidden off the main road so it's peaceful. It's slightly up hill to the main center, but that's just how the city is designed so no complaints! The morning is a tiny workout for my baby-like shins to the city, but the walk home after a long day is a smooth walk down 😎
The apartment is at the top floor of the building, with no lifts, so that could bother some people. The check in was very simple and easy, and checkout was smooth.
The bed was a spring one, that can be slightly uncomfortable, but if you stay for more than a few days your body will get used to it. We tried the sofa mattress in the main room which was too uncomfortable, very uneven if you plan to sleep on it. The apartment is nice for 2 people but not 4. There was only one body towel each person which can be inconvenient. A smaller hand towel would have been nice.
The utilities are great! Heat is good, enough bedding to stay warm for the cold days. Bath tub is great, and the place is well supplied with hair and cleaning products. Kitchen is lovely, cooker is great, oven is nice, and stock of cooking ingredients such as spices and basics are there.
We did notice dripping on our last day from one of the pipes in the main corridor, though only a few drops over the night. This was most likely because of the steam from the shower the night before, which probably built up on the pipe into water.
Otherwise, a great, humble apartment to spend a couple days in Edinburgh.
