Beautiful View and great location
Its not often that an apartment is even BETTER than the pictures but this one is. The view from the deck is fantastic. The location is right on both major bus lines (to old town and new town). There is a good local pub just down the street. We stayed for 3 weeks and had everything we needed to cook etc. Andrew checked us in and answered questions. If we come back to Edinburgh I would come back here.

Top floor apartment outside of city center
Easy check in process. A little outside of city center. Elevator takes you to 4th floor, then 1 flight of stairs to the rental. Skylights opened up to let air in at night. View was beautiful.

Easy to get around apartment
We enjoyed our stay at this Edinburgh flat for its accessibility to many sights in the city. Uber or taxi anywhere of distance was really affordable, and then walking back was enjoyable. Close proximity to food, drink, groceries. The "2-bathroom" description in not correct, it's one. Annette confirmed the listing is incorrect on VRBO and not how they listed the apartment. The "2-bedroom" description is also a stretch, as it's one bedroom, and an entryway with a pullout bed. The bedroom does not have a king sized bed. These inaccuracies aside, the price was well worth the stay in the views and walkability alone. Would visit again... just maybe not with our 6 foot 3 son along.
