Fantastic location, walking access to all sites, plenty of restaurants on your doorstep and hop on hop off buses just down the steps. The apartment has wonderful views and is bright and cheerful. Right in the action of the Grassmarket but also amazingly quiet in this third floor apartment, however all the steps may be an issue for older unfit people. We were a bit put off by the crockery and cutlery, but accept that some guests tend to replace items they broke with any old thing and some actually take items with them. The cupboard drawers in the shower room wouldn't stay closed and this was annoying because it's just too small to have this happening but I'm sure that Maureen and crew will be able to easily fix this now that someone has pointed this out. This is such a lovely place to stay that one feels inclined not to criticize anything. We loved our first airbnb experience
