The location of this apartment is great! Easy walk to the castle (although up a few stairs!) the Grassmarket area, and the Royal Mile. The area is safe and SO quiet - we slept so well! Iain is an attentive host - he responded quickly to any questions we had. The apartment itself is comfortable and as advertised. It is on the second floor and no elevator (that I know of?) so if stairs are a problem that is a consideration. We ate at a couple of wonderful restaurants within steps of the front door - Zucca's across the street and Castle Terrace (a Micheline star restaurant) is around the corner! We would definitely stay here again!
