Really terrific location for Hogmanay celebrations! Torch light parade practically goes in front of flat and fireworks are best viewed from living room window (looks right to the top of Calton Hill).
Amanda (your assistant) helped us find the flat, as we arrived at night and were not familiar with the location, and in the dark, it is a bit tricky to locate.
Close to Waverley train station, giving you access to the rest of Scotland via rail.
Short walk to the Royal Mile, Edinburgh Castle & Holyrood Palace.

Accommodation: beds were very comfortable, furniture is a bit sparse but adequate for 3 people. Spacious rooms and very quiet location. Old building, so don't expect a lift to second floor. Circular stone staircase is a bit narrow with large luggage, so patience.

We would definitely return, but in warmer weather :)
