We found the property fine. With the directions given by Martin and checking on Google Maps we knew just where to go. The apartment was even better than the photos gave it credit for. It was clean and had plenty of room for the 2 of us. The view of the castle from the living room and kitchen was a plus as well. We had everything we needed, one night the storage heater was chilly, but there was a massive blanket that we snuggled up in. It was a lovely place to return to of an evening.
We were central to Old Town and about a 10 minute walk from New Town. There were plenty of places to eat and drink nearby, The Hanging Bat, Innis and Gunn Beer Kitchen, Brewdog, Dirty Dick's and Wings were our favourites. We're fans of real ale and none of these establishments let us down.
Our holiday combined celebrating my husbands birthday with visiting a different Christmas market to our usual back home in Manchester. We spent a lovely day walking round the market and New Town bars, another day at Edinburgh Zoo, well worth a visit and a morning walking up Arthur's Seat and then visiting some pubs along the Royal mile. We can honestly say we had our best ever long weekend away together. The accommodation and Edinburgh were fabulous and we would love to revisit one day. We have recommended the property to all our friends, sharing a link to the property on Facebook. It was excellent value and a superb location and my correspondence with Martin the owner was always polite, accommodating and helpful.
