This spacious, fully equipped flat worked out great for our family of 4. The area has many different options for restaurants, pubs, coffee shops, grocery stores...Perfect location as well, within the walking distance to many attractions that Edinburgh has to offer. Highly recommended!

The apartment was close to the airport and the city center. Overall, it's quite a nice and tidy apartment, but it definitely needs maintenance on some things. The heating boiler stopped working four times in two days. The owner helped us, but the apartment got cold quickly and it was cold inside. If you stay more than two nights, it can make your stay very unpleasant. Even some smaller things would need maintenance or replacement (batteries on the bathroom sink, hard-to-open door to the living room, damaged wallpaper in one bedroom, etc.). Just a little care and the apartment will be in excellent condition.

If you're in Scotland for a few days & likely to visit more than one heritage site, definitely get an Explorer Pass - it'll save you a fortune! They last 4 or 5 days & give you unlimited entry plus fast track entry, so you can jump the queues completely. We went to Stirling castle too & even with just these two castles, we'd already saved money compared with buying normal tickets. They do family or individual ones, but as it was just me & my daughter, our best value option was individual tickets; worked out at £59 for both of us for a 4 day ticket which sounds a lot, but trust me - compared with normal ticket prices for more than one place, that's a bargain!
