Loved staying at Calim's place! The location couldn't be any better. We arrived by train and it was about a 15 min. walk. Shouldn't be a problem if you have smaller bags (ours were bigger so we just took our time). Also, you're within walking distance to the castle right in the heart of old town. The interior of the apartment is exquisite with stylish, classic details throughout. It was also lovely walking into the apartment hearing classical music (Calim really set the mood). Our arrival time kept changing and Calim was extremely responsive and flexible to accommodate our arrival. Calim has really thought of everything you could possibly need. He was a wonderful host and had great recommendations of places to eat. We had an amazing dinner at the Outsider with a beautiful view of the castle. Be sure to make a reservation there!
One thing to note is that my husband felt the bed was a little too soft. He had back surgery a couple years ago so we sleep on a firmer mattress at home. Just something to keep in mind if this would be an issue for you too.
Otherwise we felt it was the perfect place to stay in Edinburgh! We would definitely recommend staying here.
