We couldn’t have been happier! I was worried it would be small and hot being on the top floor but it was very spacious for the 3 of us and, although we were told it was the hottest day so far this year, it was perfectly comfortable with the breeze coming in from the balcony doors and windows. The interior was so tastefully decorated and seemed brand new. The combo washer/dryer worked great and was a big plus. The wall of windows opening to a good sized balcony was our favorite part. There are beautiful sunsets to be seen from the balcony. In addition, the property owner was wonderful. She answered all my messages very quickly and was there to meet us and explain everything as soon as we arrived. As for the location, it is on a bus line with stops very close to the building so getting around the city is a breeze. We like to walk and found getting to the palace, the Royal Mile, Edinburgh castle and the train station were only 15-30 minutes of easy walking away. There is a Lidl grocery store just a block or so away and many smaller markets on the street. There is a Sainsbury, which is much larger, about 15 minutes walking distance (on low-traffic streets). If you like to hike, Arthur’s Seat in Holyrood Park just behind the palace was a lovey hike with amazing views. We have had 6 different vacation flats on our 2 month trip and this one was by far the nicest. I highly recommend it and would not hesitate to book here again.
