Response from the manager So pleased to hear there was many aspects of the Parliament Sq 2 apt that contributed to a successful trip to Edinburgh. Despite full working shutters and curtains in the bedrooms It is actually a very good tip to bring ear plugs as Edinburgh can become very boisterous during the festival. This is a second floor property with no lift and may not be suitable for guests with mobility issues. We do operate self catering properties, we are not a serviced apartment company or provide bed & breakfast, however we do provide some tea, coffee, milk, shampoos, shower gels, loo rolls to assist guests getting started on a self catering trip . There are plethora of smaller stores and larger supermarkets in the area for provisions. Surprised that the warmth was an issue during the summer months but we would have been able to assist with heating if we had been contacted. Regards, Glenn Ford manager.
