This is an elegant, well-equipped, well-managed and beautifully furnished flat, located pe)conveniently to downtown and Leith. Absolutely spotlessly clean. There is also a lovely patio out back, which was a pleasant surprise. The house is close to transport, including the tram, which makes the location a perfect jumping-off point for exploring this beautiful city. The tram from the airport stops right at the end of the street, a two-block walk away from the apartment - how convenient is that?. You will not be disappointed if you decide to stay here.
