Neighbourhood
Known for being home to Edinburgh's main university campus at George Square, Newington has a busy student culture and is littered with restaurants, cafes and bars. From Newington, it is about a 10 to 15-minute walk to the city centre with the leafy residential area of the Grange to Newington's West and Liberton and Gilmerton to the South. The building of the South Bridge in 1788 connected once rural Newington to the city and still stands as a bustling connecting road today. The architecture comprises Victorian tenement flats commonly seen throughout the rest of Edinburgh. Check out my guidebook for food and drink recommendations in the area! The apartment is 2 minutes from Pleasance, a large festival venue and beer garden, and from Clerk Street, where you will find many lovely coffee shops and cafes that are handy for breakfast and a Tesco Metro. The Royal Mile / Cowgate is a 10-minute walk - this is the festival's heart with many street performers and pop-up comedy venues. Arthur's seat is around a 15-minute walk from the apartment, as is the Meadows, which hosts many festival venues.

About
This two-bedroom apartment is perfect for families and friends looking to stay in the city centre. It has everything you need for a pleasant stay. The property is close to various attractions (e.g. Edinburgh University, National Museum of Scotland), good restaurants and shops, and the East Crosscauseway bus stop is just 2 minutes away, so guests can easily travel and explore the city!
Space
Welcome to my home! The apartment is on the second floor (ground, first, then second), and the block has eight apartments. Neighbours are a mix of families, couples, and long-term tenants. Whilst it is appreciated that the flat may be used for groups in the festival,l it should not be a party house for large groups at late-night noise. This bright and comfortable apartment has a serene atmosphere. The area is generally quiet, with one bedroom looking out into the garden and the other on a side street with little traffic. It is decorated in a vibrant, retro-modern style with many small touches. In the kitchen, you'll find the washing machine and cooking facilities (microwave/oven/hob), should you need to wash or whip up a meal. The two double bedrooms are furnished with double beds fitted with complimentary hotel-quality linens and wardrobe storage where you can unpack. The living room has a convertible sofa bed. There is WiFi available throughout the property. The apartment is always professionally cleaned for your comfort before your arrival. Enjoy your stay!

There were so many negative reviews about this place that I started to get nervous. Now that I've stayed there, I have no idea why so many people were dissatisfied! I was there during the Fringe festi
