convenient stay!

great locationequipped kitchenwindow curtain
The location was excellent, right off the grassmarket, it made getting around so easy. Facilities within the apartment were also nice, especially the well-equipped kitchen. beds were very comfortable, even though the two singles were pushed together to make a large double. this arrangement suited my needs well.
I had some difficulty with the electric window curtain in my room. It wasn't working. it was a bit inconvenient not having control over the light levels in the room.
