It is very well located. It is at the end of the Royal Mile st., next door to the Scottish Parliament, 3 min. to the Abbey Sanctuary and the Queen's Gallery, and is as well close to a nice park for running. Just down the street, there is a bus stop for the 300 which goes to the airport, but take care that it does all the stops that means that it gets to the airport in more than an hour. There is a delicious Hoag rost roll shop just next door and a daily Tesco and places for breakfast.
