A really comfortable and well-equipped flat for two couples or a small group. The apartment was spotlessly clean on arrival, cosy and nice. Wi-Fi was fast and reliable throughout, which was great for working remotely between sightseeing days. Check-in has clear instructions sent in advance, and the host was responsive and helpful whenever we had a question.The location worked really well for us. Haymarket station is just a short walk away, making day trips easy, and the Grassmarket and Old Town were reachable on foot in around fifteen minutes. We discovered Loudons café just around the corner on Fountainbridge. The Union Canal is also nearby.Would book it again.
