The Neighborhood:
The Old Town has preserved its medieval plan and many Reformation-era buildings. One end is closed by the castle, and the main artery, The High Street (or the Royal Mile) leads away from it; minor streets (called closes or wynds) bud off the main spine in a herringbone pattern. Large squares mark the location of markets or surround major public buildings such as St Giles Cathedral and the Law Courts. Other notable places of interest nearby include the Royal Museum of Scotland, the Surgeons' Hall, the Royal Festival Theatre, and the University of Edinburgh. The street layout, typical of the old quarters of many northern European cities, is made especially picturesque in Edinburgh, where the castle perches on top of a rocky crag, the remnants of a dormant volcano, and the main street runs down the crest of a ridge from it

Getting Around:
● There is no free parking space at the property. However, there are paid options nearby.
● The nearest bus stop to the property is West Port which is a short 1-minute walk from the flat.
● Edinburgh Waverley train station is a 15-minute walk.
