There are a wide choice of local amenities including independent specialist shops, coffee shops, bars & restaurants, as well as a Sainsburys Local and a large Waitrose Supermarket and M&S Simply Food in neighbouring Morningside.

The apartment is a short walk from the iconic Meadows and Bruntsfield Links where there is also a short hole golf course. Excellent walks can be found on nearby Blackford Hill, the Hermitage of Braid and Holyrood Park. The Warrender Swim Centre is a short walk away.
