Great stay
The apartment is brilliantly located 2 mins from the tram and a short walk from historic Leith port and a variety of bars and restaurants. Free off road parking and pup friendly. Our host was easily accessible, helpful and very amusing. I’ve dropped one star because the oven didn’t work and we couldn’t cook our supper on the first night. I’m sure Stuart will get that sorted 😊

Wonderful flat just outside the main areas
Wonderfully comfortable flat that was about a 25 minute Uber ride from Old Town. It was good to get away from the main area, and other than some very loud people on the street on Saturday night and the call of seagulls nearby, it was nice and quiet.

Leith
Stuart was really easy to work with/communicate with! Leith was much more convenient than I expected. The tram to Edinburgh is very easy to use and just a short walk to the flat. The flat itself is a little dated/cluttered and it sorta feels like you are staying at your bachelor uncle’s place while he is away…the beds arent the most comfy, and the showers are a little weird, but it is a convenient, safe. well managed flat. There is a lot of good info about Edinburgh and Leith in the flat, And Stuart was terrific and very communicative.
