Paul's apartment is the perfect spot for a stay in Edinburgh, the windows of the lounge look down onto The Royal Mile. You are just minutes from the castle and all the central Edinburgh tourist attractions. We ate superb food and enjoyed great atmospheres by going to eateries and bars recommended by Paul (in a book in the apartment). Although central it was very quiet at night, we all slept well. This modern well equipped flat in a stone walled 17th century (I think) building was the perfect mix of old and new. The access along an alley, through a heavy door and up a well worn stone spiral staircase added to the fun and feeling of being part of the historic old town.
