Super leilighet men bråkete

Leiligheten er super. Fin og har alt en trenger. Vi leide denne en helg i oktober. Det ligger pub på hver side av leiligheten og dermed blir det mye støy. Vi var fire voksne, og alle slet med å sovne. Men har du godt sovehjerte er denne topp.

Great location, nice apartment

This is a comfortable, clean and well-equipped apartment. The location was perfect for exploring Edinburgh, especially the Castle and the Royal Mile. It has decent quality furnishings and kitchenware and a nice modern bathroom and kitchen. Be aware that you have to carry your bags up and down old stone spiral stairs to the top floor. There is a parking place available which was a huge help, but it is about a 20 minute walk away. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
