This was a great place to stay in Edinburgh! Nice and clean, with very friendly hosts. They very helpfully provided recommendations (and a map!) for food, coffee, sightseeing, even shopping. It's right off the Royal Mile, so it is in a great location for sightseeing as everything is in walking distance, including easy access to public transportation systems. Since it is so close to the city center, you can hear traffic/people around at night--but that's to be expected with such a central location.
