Well appointed and comfortable apartment in one of the nicest residential sections of New Town. London Street is a 10 minute walk to St. Andrews square and Princes Street just beyond. In the other direction is the lovely Broughton Neighborhood with many nice restaurants, and coffee shops (too many to name here) as well as Topping &Co.- the fantastic new Edinburgh branch of the family run Scottish independent bookstore.
Note that this part of Edinburgh is hilly. The walk to St. Andrew’s square is uphill.
The apartment has a large living room with dining area, a galley kitchen, two double bedrooms and a half bath on the main floor. Downstairs is the full bath and another double bedroom looking out on the back courtyard. The shower downstairs is great, but it is downstairs.
The bedding etc. are lovely and comfortable. There is a small convenience store right nearby. Travelers who typically stay multiple nights with family in Europe will also appreciate that the rubbish bin is about 20 feet from the front door.
Susie was an excellent host, in communication at the right times. Overall an excellent value. we would definitely stay again!
