The location was fantastic!
Because of the location it can be a little noisy outside.

A little noisy, and bistro-perfumed, but romantic as anything
Great romantic location, at the foot of the "Harry Potter street". So there will be people outside, and a bagpiper. If you like bagpipes outside till 8 at night you'll be happy. You couldn't be more central. Landlord very helpful, came and replaced toaster when we found it didn't work. Working Smart TV, so if you're subscribed to apps (eg Iplayer, Youtube) you'll be fine. If not, it has no ariel so you will be telly-less. There are two wifi routers, both of which work fine.
The smell of oil and grease from the bistro below is all pervasive and makes you feel unclean. My wife washed some clothes and dried them in the lounge, then found when we got to our next destination that they smelled of chip fat so needed washing again. If you're sensitive to this, it might trouble you. Acrid is the word. The noise from the flat above, and from people coming in downstairs, comes through quite a bit, and we had some people who would come in at 2 in the morning. It sounded for all the world like they'd come up our stairs into our flat, but they hadn't, then we could hear their feet and voices from above. Again, we may have been unlucky, but if you're a light sleeper, this could keep you awake. And parking prices in Edinburgh have gone nut nut! Eight quid an hour? There's people working in these cafes can look out at a parking meter earning more per hour than them. The solution is what we call The Long Walk. Set your satnav for South Lauder Street, and you'll find that area is outside the controlled parking zone. Leave your car there for free, it's a half hour walk back.

Room for improvement.
The layout of the apartment was good and there was plenty of space, the bed was also comfortable and the towels soft.
Single glazed windows let in lots of noise. Located above restaurant, fried food/oil smells from kitchen below made your eyes water and clothes smell. Wifi didn’t work and there was only one working plug in the kitchen.

The location and the cleanliness of the house were excellent. I really liked it. Everything you might need is available inside. Plus, there's a helpful team you can reach whenever you need anything. Thank you.

Sweet spot!
Excellent, wonderful little apartment, located in a sweet spot.
Wish we could’ve stayed longer to enjoy all the amenities more!
