If you want to be in the heart of Edinburgh and feel part of the place, then this is where you want to stay. As the hosts point out themselves, if you want peace and quiet and idyllic birdsong, then this is not it (although you get the seagulls in the morning haha). But if you want to be seconds away from the Royal Mile, from excellent food places and bars, from the hustle and bustle then Katie and Christian's place is it. It is stylish, well equipped with everything you need, great atmosphere and a lift! (which I hadn't realised, goes to show that I didn't read the description too carefully). Would recommend staying there and would stay there again myself. The host was immediately available when we needed help as well, so you will be in good hands.
