Fabulous 2 bedroom apartment - perfect location for our trip to Edinburgh. Super convenient to all attractions along the royal mile. The Mor bakery was great for take away food and coffee. The coffee shop by the entrance also nice, but less food choices - just pastries. Host was super helpful throughout our stay. Perfect place for a family of three or four if two children are willing to stay in same bed. Or for two couples.

If you want to be at the hub of everything Edinburgh has to offer, choose this flat. The bedrooms are on the courtyard, so even though the living area faces one of the busiest streets in the city, you can sleep quietly. The kitchen is well stocked, too.
