The location is about half an hour walking distance from the Royal Mile; however, if you are intending on using public transport, the closest bus stop is only 4min walk away.
The neighborhood is quiet and safe-feeling. The accommodation is roomy and has everything that you will need, including a washer. The host is kind and quick in responding.
My only concern is the accommodations has a cigarette odor. The host explained that this is really rare and the smell is coming from the communical stairway area, which is completely out of their control. To address this, the host has an air purifier that travelers may use. Aside from this, the place is clean and met our needs.
