We had a fabulous stay in Edinburgh! We fell in love with the city day 1. Our flat was very clean and well equipped for our stay! Beds were super comfy too! Just be ready to walk up the 70 steps it takes to get you to the door! Yes, I counted! This location is so convenient to everything! Tram services are right outside the door and that takes you close to anything you want to do in the city! Loved our stay so much!!
