Great view and a superb location. The Castle, Greyfriars Kirkyard, Grassmarket and the National Museum of Scotland just a few steps away. The later is a fantastic museum that suited everyone in our company from the 3 to the 67 year old. And it's free. Arthur's Seat is also at a walkable distance. It is somewhat of a climb, butthe view is well worth it. The cherry on the cake was the band of bagpipeplayers that passed outsife the bedroom window while we were getting ready to attend a wedding. Karen was also very hospitable and friendly host. We would all recommend a stay at her place.
