We had a very nice stay. (4 adults) It was convenient to all the things you want to visit. Pubs and coffee shops close by as well as a Sainsbury which we used when we wanted to prepare our own food. You may need to purchase more toilet paper and paper towels for your stay as there was only a roll of toilet paper in each bathroom. You can get those close by at store. We were there a week and it was nice to have a washing machine as we pack very light. We would recommend this flat.

Lorna is a wonderful host and we enjoyed immensely our vacation in this spacious Stafford Street property in Edinburgh. The apartment is beautifully appointed, with comfortable beds and has a great shower, always something we appreciate
The property is in a great location, close to two great restaurants (La Piazza & Dine) and the local Sainsbury’s for your essentials.
The castle, grass market, royal mile and princes street are all within 15 minutes of the property and the green tour bus can be boarded in Charlotte Square.
