LUXURY APARTMENT WITH WONDERFUL CASTLE VIEW

We recently concluded our vacation with a three day stop in Edinburgh and thoroughly enjoyed this rental. The unit is very modern, clean, well maintained, and provided more than adequate room for our family of four. From the kitchen and livingroom there are great views of Edinburgh castle, the main railroad station and launch point for all tour buses is 10 minute walk (this is also the launch point for the bus going to/from Edinburgh airport), and the surrounding neighborhood is safe, lively, and has great shopping. The gentleman who manages the building, Dave, was charming and very helpful in getting us both situated with our car (nearest carpark is ~ 1 mile away and there is very little street parking - we ditched our rental car 2 hours after arriving - come in on the train or bus!) and directing us on how to catch the bus to the airport (which is a breeze and there is a ticket office two doors down from the flat). There is a full grocery store a five minute walk away, Hard Rock Cafe a 7 minute walk, classic Scottish pubs only a few minute walk away, and a cab stop directly across the street from the pub to get quick transportaion anywhere in the city (not to mention a bus stop ten steps from the front door). The rooms were imaculate, towels lush, appliances clean and operating - plenty of hot water in the showers - accommodations were first rate. In our flat there was also an extenisve library of pamphlets on local activities, books on Edinburgh, as well as, lots of novels and general interest books one could peruse. I can't say enough about this flat - we really enjoyed our time there and would recommend it to anyone.
