Perfect location in Old Town Edinburgh

Location was super great! It is in the heart of The Grass Market…beautiful scenery and lots of action. Easy access in and out of the property. The bed was a bit small for us, but we are used to sleeping in a king size bed.

Edinburg vacation

My sister and I traveled to Edinburgh from the States The location of the apartment was absolutely perfect We enjoyed exploring Edinburgh on foot and the location allowed us to easily access all of our must see activities The apartment itself was very nice however a few things to consider, the location is right above and beside restaurants . So you guessed it.. extremely loud partying especially on Friday and Saturday night! Screaming , bottles breaking and partying until 4:00 in the morning, ! So if you don’t mind being awake most of the night then this is a great spot . Another thing to consider is the sofa and beds are VERY firm and after 8+ hrs on hard surfaces a firm mattress is brutal! Doors to the exterior and exterior are VERY heavy . I’m not sure if the pluses out weigh the negatives but our stay was memorable even if we got no sleep and out backs are out .
