Location location location!!

If we could give this 6 stars we would! Located right off the Royal Mile in the middle of all of the excitement. The mgmt company was excellent at helping us find the apt and get in. I saw an earlier reviewer concerned about the skylight in the 3rd bedroom but now there is a shade over the window . We did not find this a problem. The apt was clean and just as depicted. There are 20 steep steps (as was in description) to get in so it was good we were all fit enough to be able to get up with our bags by ourselves even though we had very large suitcases. If you are not able to carry your bags up 20 steep steps then this is not the place for you. Other than that small issue it was absolutely wonderful!!

Third bedroom not fit for putpose

The third bedroom in this apartment had a skyline window without any blinds which meant we were unable to sleep after 4.30am. Upon communicating this with the manager and asking to be moved, we were ignored. Six sleepless nights in an apartment that cost us thousands of pounds, terrible experience. It is a two bedroom apartment, not a three bed as advertised.
