The location is excellent adjacent to the Grassmarket square. The flat is small but very functional and I found the bed to quite comfortable although I did lose pillows over the front as other reviewers have noted. The kitchen was well appointed and works well. The distance through the garden and the flights of stairs can be a little daunting for those not in good shape and/or heavily encumbered. You pretty much have to carry any bags, whether they have wheels or not, from the street entrance because of intervening steps and then stairs. A lovely place to stay, I highly recommend it.
