    Arrive without a car - there is no on-site parking and the apartment is in Grassmarket, a pedestrian-heavy central area.

  • 02

    Request an early check-in (15:00 standard) in advance; it is not guaranteed but the team will try.

  • 03

    Use the nearest luggage storage option if you arrive before check-in and want to explore the city centre.

  • 04

    Book this apartment only if all travellers are 21 or older, as a minimum-age policy applies.
