The apartment is a good location for a stay in Edinburgh, good bus links into the city with the bus stop just across the street and only £1.70 single ticket. There are plenty of bars and restaurants within walking distance of the apartment, and the ocean terminal is just a 10 minute walk away with loads of shopping and cinema and restaurants.
The apartment itself is very clean , it has a great shower, spacious living area, and the modern kitchen.
Only criticism I had of the apartment for a longer stay was lack of storage for your stuff, just a small cupboard with a few hangers, which meant for the majority we had to live out of a suitcase for stay, perhaps a divan type bed with the drawers either side might be a solution for a limited space, or a drawer set in the living area perhaps.
The building is old and has character, which comes with its problems, the windows are not double glazing and do get quiet a lot of condensation, although the heating is very good and the apartment soon gets warm.
The outside parking area is a first come first serve, so not a guarantee you will have a space, couple of times we had to park round the corner, wasn't a problem but worth mentioning I think. The day we arrived the lift wasn't working, didn't bother us we don't like lifts anyway, but if you rely on it the apartment is on the 3rd floor. It was fixed quickly, but I don't know how often it happens.
When we first arrived the outside area was untidy with over flowing bins and broken glass, which didn't give us a first good impression, but when we went in the apartment it was a great impression and was a pleasure to stay for Christmas and new year, Ricky has done a good job of turning the apartment into a cosy little holiday let.
