Me and my friend used the apartment for a week during the Fringe festival. Perhaps not the best location for the majority of the fringe ie the royal mile and pleasance courtyard. However, if you don't mind a 25 minute walk up the hill then it's fine. The apartment was generally grubby, and would benefit from a good scrub! The Internet connection was fast ad the virgin media tv was a bonus. A word of warning the entrance hallway looks like a car park stairwell, but the apartment is well decorated (a little dated). The kitchen has got everything you need (quite basic) but the washing machine was unusable.

Hi Katie,
Many thanks for the feedback.I have instructed a deep steam clean of the apartment and replaced the mattress. I am investigating the washing machine.This apartment was only recently converted into a holiday let as the previous tenant moved out. It is my intention to keep it as a holiday let continually investing in it. In the meantime -I hope my entry is not misleading -I do state that it's a 3 star apartment and it is priced accordingly.(Although I appreciate Edinburgh is not a cheap place to stay during the Festival month.)
I want to mention that the 25 minute walk would be to the Royal Mile and not to George Street or the east end of Princes Street. Also for clarification the entrance hallway is the communal stair and like most Edinburgh tenements it is not the "prettiest" feature. Unfortunately it requires all the owners in the stair to agree to paint it and we have not got that yet,however it is brushed and washed every week.

Regards Craig
