This is a well located apartment. It is right on a main road with many buses which was convenient. It is also a short (10 minute) walk from the main tourist part of Edinburgh. For those with families, there is a great playground two blocks away, and several fine markets.The apartment is spacious and was pretty comfortable. The entryway is a bit shabby. Once you come off the street, there is a stairwell that is rather dusty looking. Entering the apartment is more pleasant. There is a good sized living room with space for 6 to eat. The quality of furniture was low. Everything was Ikea. For instance, the table and chairs were rickety and I had to tighten the screws to feel comfortable sitting on them. The mattresses lacked support and sagged in the middle. We were able to sleep, but I would not call it that comfortable. There was a shag carpet under the dining table which made it hard to clear up if any food dropped. The TV worked well in the living room and the couches etc were comfortable and plenty. The kitchen was well stocked with all of the essentials (pots, pans, plates, cups, utensils, etc). The dishwasher, stove and laundry machine worked well. There was, on some occasions a weird rumpling sound in the kitchen but it was intermittent. The bathrooms were ok. They were tight, especially the second one (you could barely sit and use the toilet). The showers had good water pressure. The towels were rather small. Bedding was good. Overall, it felt like a college apartment.
