Truly in the middle of it all- my kids watched street performers from the living room window in the afternoons when we came home for lunch. Extremely spacious, beds were comfortable and the shower and bathroom were lovely. There are a lot of stairs so be ready for that, but the location quality and size of this place are fantastic. Extremely good instructions and easy check in

Apartment looked out on Royal Mile and was perfectly situated. Food, places to visit, bus and train station 10-15 minutes walk. History literally outside the building. Shahid, owner, was wonderful and kept me appraised and always available should we need him. My daughter and I had a wonderful and memorable time. It was worth splurging this one time on accommodations; apartment is lovely!
