Amed Wall

Stretching down 30 metres, this tree-like coral shelf lies at the centre of a beautiful garden of gorgonians. It’s in these plants that the rare pygmy seahorse sets up home, which makes Amed Wall your best shot of catching a glimpse. Reef sharks and sea turtles also roam these waters, so there’s no shortage of deep-sea wonders to gawk at.

    Perfect location for exploring Edinburgh, a quick walk up the stairs takes you to the Edinburgh castle and the start of the Royal Mile walk. The shops, cafes and restaurants are just round the corner. A little noisy at night as so if you are a light sleeper, bring your earplugs. Overall lovely apartment and a bonus terrace too. Sacha and Louis were helpful, quick to respond and pleasant.

    The location was ideal. Stepping out of the door, there is a spectacular view of Edinburgh Castle. The street was fairly quiet, with easy access to nice pubs and even an outdoor arts and crafts market. The Princes Street Gardens were just a few minutes away, very pleasant for walking to and from the apartment. The Royal Mile was about a fifteen minutes walk away. The room was clean, spacious, and well-appointed, with kitchenette and sofa bed.
