Great location on the Royal Mile, but the windows don't provide much of a sound barrier, so it was very loud. It didn't bother us too much, but if you need quiet to sleep, this isn't a good choice. We were there during Fringe, though, so that is probably more noise than normal. However, it is very close to all of old Edinburgh. It is a long walk up stairs to get to the flat so a bit tough with suitcases. The place is very roomy and has two bedrooms, each that has three beds. The bathroom is very small, but comfortable. The living area was very roomy and nice for us to all hang out together at the end of each night. My only complaint was that the beds are futon quality and not very comfortable. The rest of the flat was clean and cozy and the linens were good.
