The location cannot be beat, it's so central with a short walk to everything including the Christmas market (princess st), Calton Hill, Arthur's Seat, Edinburgh Castle, Grass Market, and literally surrounded by restaurants, pubs, live music, convenient stores, groceries etc. While Cockburn st can be loud, Edinburgh is loud and bustling in general, so the noise didn't bother me.. just join in on the fun! Moi was a great host with quick and friendly responses, secured building with camera and fob entrances, and double locking unit door. The apartment is luxurious and unique, the windows are fantastic. They even provided hairdryer, straightener, curling iron with UK plug, very convenient and spare supplies including towels, linens, pillows, umbrellas, shopping bags, etc! Only recommendation would be to update the mattresses, and don't forget to bring a laundry pod for your washing. Highly recommend 👌
