So to isolate I found a relatively inexpensive self-catering apartment on Booking.com, the Lanark residence on Lanark Rd. In Edinburgh. At only 50 pounds a night, approximately it was the best I could do monetarily. So there is no big surprise that it isn’t perfect, but I so far really like it, if I can get one issue fixed early in my stay.
The house has five small apartments, each with a kitchen or mini kitchen. I specifically asked for as complete a kitchen as I could get, and I am in room 5 whose kitchen has a galley type kitchen with a four burner stove, small oven, microwave and pretty big (for Europe) refrigerator/freezer.
There is also a clothes washer in the kitchen, way down at the end. It’s actually smaller than a typical galley kitchen, just really a hall with the appliances on one side. Further over, in the next hall, is a small table and two chairs.
There is also a little table with two chairs outside, so one can eat out in the garden.
The main room has a large, very comfortable bed, an a large couch, plus a TV which is actually not working right now. There are workmen doing stuff in front of the house, digging up the road, and I fear that is the issue. I’ve bothered the proprietor a lot today, and I need some sleep as I did not sleep well on the plane last night, but I’ll call them in the morning.
Plus, there is a large, well appointed bathroom.
The real standout here, though, is the garden, which is good, because it appears to be the only place I can reliably get inernet right now. It does not show up in my apartment, but does in front of the building. So I anticipate many hours out here in the sunshine in the next few days. Forecast is for highs in the low 70s and lows in the 50s, with very little rain, so it should be nice. I’ll leave you all wit some garden pics.
