We really enjoyed the stay on Dundas Street. Paul was away, yet still stayed in touch to make sure things were going OK & following up on the small issues we had. Our flights/arrival got significantly changed, but he adjusted & had someone meet us that evening. (Thank you!!!)
The location of the flat is great-- two small groceries within a couple minutes' walk, as well as a wonderful local pub ("Clarke's") and a bus stop outside the door. We walked most places, but one of the older people in our group appreciated the bus (the road is on a big hill.... it's Edinburgh, after all). The flat is up 80 stairs (yes, we counted), which is about 2x as much as a third floor apt. in the USA. But we wanted to stay in New Town, so it was worth having the stairs, and we could walk to almost everything we wanted to see & do in the city if we wanted.
The apartment itself is spacious, which was appreciated as we had 6 in our group. There were plenty of dishes, pots & pans, etc.... a nice big kitchen table too. All the rooms had shelves or cupboards to be able to unpack & stay organized. Even though Dundas Street is large, it was quiet. The apartment itself was quiet too- if a door were closed, the sounds of people inside were muted.
