Sunny, Edinburgh City Centre Apartment

Tom was an incredible host. Flat was lovely! Felt like we were visiting family. Marshmallow Lady, Hata and Stockbridge were all an easy walk away. Getting groceries at Tescos was an Easy walk as well. Around the back if the property was a great park for kids and a short cut to some great shops. Buses were easy to take to and from the city as well as to the Port of Leith. Only issue we had was the flight of steep stairs, but we’re old! It’s Edinburgh… stairs and hills are everywhere! Bus 8/9 Muirhouse will drop you off right infront of the building!

Beautiful, homely, spacious and clean apartment. Double bed was super comfy. Perfect location for our weekend getaway.

Beautiful large flat with 2 separate toilets and one large modern shower, two living areas and 2 TVs in a beautiful quiet neighborhood. Nice kitchen and combo washer/dryerSome things to be aware of:- there are about 45 wide spiral steps to get up to the flat and no elevator/lift. The steps are not super well lit so you may need to use your cell phone flashlight - it is about a 10-15 minute walk to the main shopping street in Edinburgh (Princes Street) and the walk is uphill. There are a lot of hills in Edinburgh! Then about another 10 min walk uphill to the main tourist street the Royal Mile- there are two Lothian bus stops close to the flat and you can tap your credit card on the bus and it won’t charge you once you hit the daily maximum - there is a combo washer/dryer in the flat- we took the City Adventures hop on/hop off buses and they were very good. They have three lines - red with recorded commentary, green with a live guide and blue which goes away from the Royal Mile and towards the water. Don’t miss the blue line if you have time as it goes down to the Royal Botanic Garden (you can also take the city Lothian bus) and the waterfront at the Firth of Forth. We did not go to the Royal Yacht Britannia but heard good things about the tour- we took a couple of Rabbie’s minibus day tours with live guides which were both very good. They leave from the Edinburgh bus station- overall this is a lovely place to stay if you don’t mind some walking

This is where I would live, lovely friendly neighbours, amazing decor and although the Fringe Festival was on it was lovely to stay in such style. Very easy access, gorgeous architecture 10 mins on to Princess Street , The Playhouse but you didn't have walk as far, for several fringe events were just 5 minutes walk, Tescos, pubs, gorgeous bespoke shops & plenty to keep all ages occupied.
