"We had a lovely stay at the apartment in Edinburgh. It was very clean, family-friendly, and comfortable. The location was perfect, with Aldi just nearby, which made everything very convenient. Everything was great overall. Just a small suggestion: replacing the cooking pots with new ones would make the experience even better. We would happily stay again. Thank you "
