Clean Hotel and Centre of the sight seeings.
I personally an Architectural Engineer and loved to stay in historical buildings with stone facade, high ceiling, very traditional Edinburgh structure. With 13+ feet high ceiling and the stone floor, it made my stay more pleasant.
It is about 5 minutes walk from the York Station (Tram) and about 15 minutes walk from the Waverly station. About 20-25 minutes walk from the Edinburgh Castle.
I have a family of four, and since I am the only person can accept cooler room temperature, it was okay for me; but my wife and others are seemed to be little upset about the temperature control.
Something for the apartment owner to improve are:
1. Central Heating system will be on from 10-5 a.m. and then it will switch back to normal. I am from US and used to have warmer rooms (20 deg C) .
2. Water heating is quiet a challenge. I took a 10 minute shower and then the water starts to get from hot to cold.
Will I stay at the same place in next visit, most likely yes since on the day 2, we got use to the system already.
I love the wood floor and the living room.
