Summary: This apartment could not be more ideally located for a proper introduction to the most iconic Edinburgh landmarks. In addition, the building itself has a significant place in Scottish history, as it is part of James Court and was once home to the famous philosopher David Hume. The apartment was clean, nicely appointed and, for the most part, comfortable. The hosts were courteous and easily reachable. We were surprised to realize that the second toilet in the apartment was extremely compact, not suited for anyone of above-average height. Space in a few of the bedrooms, such as the bunk beds, was very limited, especially for adults. We understood that these constraints could be attributed to the layout of this centuries-old building, but we had to admit to being a bit surprised, based on the description and the rental price. Otherwise, this apartment was ideal and helped to provide me and my family with some wonderful memories of our vacation in Scotland.
