This was a great area to stay. Just a block to plenty of shops and restaurants. A must try is the Edinburgh Coffee Cake, great for breakfast, dinner or afternoon tea. Only a 10 minute or so walk to the Royal Mile. The apartment was comfortable and very quiet. Jackie the host was very attentive and quick to respond to my messages. I had a couple of issues when I first arrived and she met me at the apartment right away and took care of things. I would stay again.
