TLDR; Awesome! That’s all you need to know.
Carol is an amazing host, so friendly and helpful. The apartment itself is lovely, and in such an amazing location.
It’s just off the Royal Mile, in a nice quiet spot - surprising for being so close to the city centre.
The apartment is surrounded by lovely coffee shops, bistros, restaurants, bars and shops. But because of its location it’s perfect for exploring Edinburgh.
Literally just a 12 minute walk to Princess Street. Or a 15 minute saunter up the Royal Mile to Edinburgh Castle, and all of the lovely shops and tourist attractions in between.
No matter what you’re planning to do in Edinburgh, you won’t be disappointed if you chose to stay here.
It was just myself and my wife for our stay. But the apartment would comfortably sleep 4, or even 6 people with the high-quality sofa beds in the lounge.
Everything was finished to a high standard, you get access to free streaming services on the TV in the lounge - which also has a couple of free HDMI sockets and a USB for power, if you plan on taking your own streaming device.
The free WiFi is stable and fast enough for everyone to use at the same time. Everything was clean, the kitchen is well stocked with anything you can possibly need for your stay - cutlery, good quality knifes for food prep (something I’m particularly fussy about), crockery, dishwasher, microwave, washing machine, everything you need and more.
The bedroom faces onto the courtyard, and is nice and quiet at night. The bed is comfortable, with good pillows and the room, as with the lounge, has a blackout blind.
If you are driving, you also get to use the underground, secure parking. Which, so close to the city centre, is a definite bonus and there’s an elevator which takes you from there, to right outside the door of the apartment. Very handy if you have a lot of luggage.
I could prattle on for ages about this apartment. But really, all I need to say is that I cannot recommend a stay here highly enough.
Everything from the apartment, amenities, location, to Carol’s amazing help is simply, just perfect.
