    The apartment was lovely and cozy. Great location on the sea with great views. It was in a refurbished historical building. I would stay there again and recommend it to my friends. It is a little far from Edinburgh but still very doable.

    Die Wohnung war geschmackvoll ausgestattet und es fehlte an nichts. Aber das Beste der Wohnung war der tolle Ausblick aufs Wasser.
