There is construction going on in the area (as there is all over Edinburgh) but this won't affect your visit at all.
There are shops, supermarkets, cafes, cinemas, restaurants and bars all within a 5-minute walk of our apartment.

The King’s Theatre is just along the road from the Cameo on Leven Street, the Usher Hall for all you theatre and festival lovers - all within walking distance.
The canal is 2 minutes from the apartment - lovely are with canal boats and with its Quay with an assortment of bars and food places.
