“Newington stands out for its remarkably convenient location, placing guests a short walk from the city centre and surrounded by plentiful dining options. The apartments, though featuring compact bathrooms, are well-appointed and comfortably accommodate longer stays, with a notable emphasis on cleanliness and functional kitchens. While on-site parking presents a challenge, the overall ease of access to transport and local amenities makes this a solid choice for exploring Edinburgh.”
