Top Strategic Tips

  • 01

    Book this apartment for direct beach access and the hot tub, but confirm the hot tub is clean and ready upon arrival.

  • 02

    Plan for limited kitchen equipment - check the inventory for pans and a dining table if you intend to cook and eat in.

  • 03

    Request extra towels, pillows, and bedding for the sofa bed in advance to ensure comfort.

  • 04

    Take the Number 26 bus from the promenade to reach Edinburgh city centre or Murrayfield in about 30 minutes.
