This flat has a great location, very close to the train station, about 10 minutes to the castle, and is right on the Royal Mile. Although it is located in the heart of the city, we didn't hear any loud sounds from the street during the two nights we stayed there. The apartment was well equipped, clean, comfortable, and spacious enough for a toddler to run around. One has to climb about 1,5 floors of stairs to reach the apartment, which is not suitable for wheelchairs or ones with climbing difficulties, but we were fine with a small stroller. We didn't meet Shadid in person but he answered our messages quickly, and was available through phone. If we come back to beautiful Edinburgh, we would definitely stay in this apartment again!
