One block off the royal mile. 10 minute walk to Holyrood Palace.
The building and the street are very quiet! Apartment was very clean. The beds and pillow’s were comfy. We only used the kitchen for tea and coffee but it seemed well stocked. Washer available.
Great place! Emil was our contact and he was so helpful. He was there waiting when we arrived. Showed us around the place and then gave us tips on where to go and have dinner.
A nice, modern apartment. Reasonably clean, all you need to be fully independent, has a free car space, close to all the "Old Town" attractions. Comfy beds, security building, shower could be updated.
Overall a good place for a decent price.
