All the superlatives you have read in the reviews are inadequate for this quaint, cozy and feel-like-a-local apartment. It was the perfect space for my daughter and me for a week at Christmas. We walked everywhere, including the train station when we arrived and left, and saw parts of Edinburgh that we hadn't seen on previous trips. The Leith Water Walk was beautiful, even under construction and the little-over-a -mile walk to the Royal Mile is full of restaurants, churches, coffee shops, and historical sights. The apartment was so comfortable and warm and we always cooked breakfast there before heading out for the day. Grocery stores are close by. Washer came in very handy! There were lots of people coming to see Dean Village just for its beauty and history - was lovely to be staying there!
