“The location places you moments from Princes Street, yet what stood out to me was the private garden-a rare urban tranquility. I noted that the apartments, with their spacious layouts and full kitchens, would suit families or extended stays. While some aspects show their age, the blend of independence and hotel-like service strikes a practical balance.”
