Alan's place is perfectly located to the Royal Mile and all the major attractions, so popping in and out of the apartment to drop things off or rest our weary feet was easy. There was a grocery store very close to the apartment which was helpful for when we did want to cook, but with the abundance of pubs and restaurants, it was easy NOT to cook! The apartment is well furnished for two people, and plenty of space. The contact I experienced with Alan, was perfect!! I HIGHLY recommend this place!
