Pros:

Position idéale, à proximité de la gare, des transports en communs, des musées et châteaux.
Très bel appartement spacieux, lumineux, personnel aux petits soins pour les clients. Nous avons pu déposer avant nos bagages à l'accueil. laverie et sèche-linge disponible au moins 1.
Magasin coop dans la rue précédente, restaurant dans la rue rose street.
Rapport qualité/prix : excellent.
Nous avons pu aller avec le bus 37 à l'arrêt juste à côté à Princes street direction Pencuik pour visiter la chapelle Rosslyne.
Le bus pour l'aéroport airlink 100 se trouve dans la rue juste à proximité de la gare (prendre l'aller et retour car moins cher).
Merci à la personne de l'accueil.
