Loved our stay in a 2 bed apartment in Braid apartments. Beds so comfortable that I didn’t want to leave !
Great welcome basket with some breakfast items were waiting for us on arrival.
2 bathrooms with showers in each and great heat throughout the apartment.
Super place to be based as so close to princes street and main sites.
Staff very helpful before arrival and provided information when it was needed.
We arrived around 8pm and it was easy to access with the provided code which was emailed and also available on that app.
Super stay!
