We'd already stayed a couple of times in Rose Street for the festival and we love the area, which is in the heart of Edinburgh's stunning New Town and very close to lots of shops, bars and restaurants. Although South Charlotte Street is a busy thoroughfare, the bedrooms are at the back of this basement flat and much quieter than on Rose Street itself. In conjunction with the really comfortable beds, this ensured an excellent night's sleep. The flat is also far roomier than the ones we've rented in the past, with a large open-plan sitting/dining room and a kitchen which will keep even the most ambitious cooks happy. An excellent find!
