This apartment is superb! Everything about it is beautiful. It's a long, spiral climb to get to it, but worth every single step - in fact, I would do double the climb! When we let ourselves in, the lamps were lit, there was classical music playing softly, the place smelled fresh, the light poured in the panelled windows, there was fresh bread waiting, there was a well stocked fridge, whisky, a wonderful selection of books and CDs and great views! The place is tastefully decorated and completely spotless; there are lots of fluffy white towels, crisp white bed linen (on a quaintly boxed-in and very comfortable bed - you climb in through a little door!) and a great shower. We spent our first afternoon indoors looking at the rain fall on the roof tiles of the old buildings opposite and browsing great, big, sumptuous art books and sipping whisky. When we decided to finally venture out, we were in the perfect location for restaurants and bars. The next day we had no problem doing an early tour of Edinburgh Castle as it is almost next door. I would be very surprised if there is a nicer place to stay in all of Edinburgh!
