PROS:
-great location, view of the castle and right at Grassmarket and accessible to old town and the royal mile
-priced well for a one bedroom plus living room and kitchen
-only a 15-20 walk to the train station
-
CONS:
-as others have mentioned the apartment is a bit old so there is a musty smell and some mold in the bathroom and bedroom windows. The flat could use a deep clean
-the heating was not working upon arrival. They were able to send someone for the following day to address it but we had to go a night without heat in the flat
-only half a roll of toilet paper upon arrival, no more was stored in the flat and we had to go out to the store to restock which was a slight inconvenience
-there was construction noise right outside the bedroom which started shortly after 6am
