The food here is amazing, I particularly recommend the haggis bonbons! They have a great selection of wines, too. It's usually busy so you'd need to book.

This restaurant is a firm favourite among our group of friends. The pricing is very reasonable, especially the lunch menu. You'll also find yourself right in the middle of old town Edinburgh if you're hitting all the tourist hot spots.

This is my favourite restaurant in Edinburgh. It's got a chilled out French vibe. They do amazing steak and lobster. There's a bit of a communal dining vibe, and it's a reasonable price.

The Ghillie Dhu has a great bar downstairs, and if you go behind that bar there are little booths that have a window through to the bar! Flick the light on and yo can get service through your own wee window. If you venture upstairs there is a traditional scottish ceilidh, with dancing and a live band. Very good fun and only a 10 minute walk from the apartment.

Fingers is not what you picture when you say "Piano Bar". Sticky floors, nowhere to put your jacket, very very busy, but what a fantastic singalong you get here! All the classics belted out fantastically by a man behind a piano, with everyone singing(/shouting) along. If you go after 10.30pm prepare to queue. Its very popular!

Ryries is what i would describe as "a classic old man pub". An typical Scottish pub. Fantastic interior, which i believe is listed as an architectural point of interest, and as a result is protected from alterations.

The iconic Arthur's Seat. It's a total must do! Just make sure you have a good pair of trainers or walking boots on, it's a fairly steep walk. The views are totally worth it though.

A bit of a "hidden gem". A lovely path that runs along the river. You can access this from behind the apartment, at the end of Magdala Crescent, down the steps. Very quiet, very peaceful and if you follow it to Stockbridge on a Sunday you get to the fantastic Stockbridge Farmers Market. I recommend the Gyoza!

An adult single to/from the airport is £5.50, a return £8.50. If I'm being honest, the buses in Edinburgh are better for going into town as they stop more regularly.

Right below the apartment is the Bike Smith. We often take visiting friends down to Greg to rent a bike for the day. If you follow Haymarket Yards (where the tram comes up) down you get to a bike path that goes all the way to Cramond or Leith. Greg and the gang can point you in the right direction. Its an old railway so very flat, easy riding.

Edinburgh's famous Old Town dates back to medieval times. A wonderful example of medieval streets and alley ways, and odd shaped buildings and astonishing churches. Another fantastic place to stroll around.
