We loved the space. Plenty of room for 4 of us to spread out. It is over another business and there was construction nearby, but it was very quiet in the evenings and an easy walk less than 30 minutes to everywhere in the city. Lots of restaurants and shops nearby. Loved the canal and drawbridge. ##### Kristen K.

Our group consisted of my husband and our 18 year old daughter. We had excellent communication with host and property managers from start to finish. Apt was big! Nice for us to spread out. Great having washer and drier and kitchen was fully equipped. Great location. Being above an auto repair shop was no bother and we walked everywhere around the neighborhood, which was very nice. Easy walk to Royal Mile, bus stops, etc. Daughter is Vegan and there were several excellent options nearby. 100% reccommend! ##### Patricia B.
