Beautiful and centrally located flat! It was wonderful waking up to views of Edinburgh Castle every morning, and choice of Starbucks or Costa coffee just steps away. There's some noise at night from the bars downstairs but the soundproofing windows in the two bedrooms were amazing at muting the noise. Several businesses were setting up in the street for festival month during our stay, and late one evening a band was unexpectedly playing quite loudly the next block over. The windows weren't helpful in quieting that sound, but if you like the nightlife then this will not matter to you and will even place you in a desirable location. (My husband and I were traveling with a toddler and an infant, so we have early evenings.) The Royal Tattoo also had a practice evening and you could watch the beautiful fireworks right from the master bedroom! (The soundproofing windows will also not block this noise, but the view is wonderful!) We walked everywhere in the city with our children - the location is a fabulous jumping off point. The heated floors in the bathroom felt wonderful on my feet after a long day of walking. Beds were very comfortable and we slept quite well. Our toddler slept in the 2nd bedroom and we put the travel cot for our infant in the living room. Highly recommend!
