*It must be noted that we did not stay here - although we booked this apartment initially - we stayed in Duncan and Dee's other apartment, nearer the castle ("Vibrant apartment" with 2 bedrooms). This alone speaks volumes of their hosting. Although there were initial problems with our booking, they were very quick to house us in another one of their apartments, with no extra charge. Upon arrival, and before our holiday, Dunc and Dee were extremely helpful and very friendly; providing us with any support we requested, and offering handy little tips about everything there is to do in Edinburgh. On top of all this, Dee's homemade shortbread was a perfect touch.
The apartment we stayed in was absolutely wonderful; everything was as described, and as it looks in the pictures. Inside the apartment was everything that made it the most comfortable stay, including: a very cosy bed, a spacious living room, a lovely bathroom and a useful little kitchen. The internet was super-fast, and the Netflix was also a welcome surprise! It was very ideally located, with plenty of amenities right by (including a Sainsbury's only a minute around the corner, and other local restaurants/cafes). As well as this, it was brilliant having the Castle only a stone's throw away - a perfect view right at the bottom of the road. The apartment was only a short walk away from everything - the Grassmarket, Princes street and Waverley train station. All in all, I would definitely recommend this apartment to anyone who is looking for the perfect home, away from home. It is ideal for everyone: families, couples and groups of friends. We now look forward to returning to Edinburgh very soon, and will definitely stay in Dunc and Dee's apartment again, or possibly try another of theirs.
