Lovely apartment in a great location. Right next to the Palace. Located at the opposite end of the royal mile to Edinburgh castle, and not far from all tourist sites and restaurants. It's all uphill from the apartment, but a lovely downhill walk on the way back. 😁 Apartment was lovely and clean, plenty of room for us and a super handy bed/sofa that was easy to use each day. Only issue was we were never sent the door code for entry to the apartment. No-one seemed to reply on the info@abbeystrandapartments.com email address. Called twice and was told something about the company being bought out. Super helpful lady on the phone who then sent us the door code. That came from reception@oldtownchambers.com email address. Who knows who's running it. Great weekend break in a great apartment. Admin was rubbish though. As always, saved by the lovely friendly staff on the phone.
