This is a wonderful place to stay. Less than 5 minutes walk from several places for independent coffee, drinks, sandwiches, cafes, pubs. Wonderful neighborhood for food. And the Royal Mile is no more than 20 minutes walk or 5 by bus. The Meadows are a lovely place to picnic lunch. And the base of Arthur's Seat is only 20 minutes walk as well. Perfect location to explore all that Edinburgh has to offer.
