This apartment in the heart of the Old City is located around a dozen great places to eat and an easy walk to the historic sights. The location is a huge attribute that is an outsized value that easily offsets the old building. Spectacular sunset views of Edinburgh Castle. Communication was excellent and hostess very accommodating. New kitchen has a cooktop, small stove, microwave, small fridge with freezer, kettle, and clothes washer. The four of us - 2 adults and 2 teens - slept very comfortably. A few cautions that were all noted previously but are still highly relevant: 1 apartment is on the top floor with stairs only. 2 there is no WiFi but plenty of local businesses offer free 3 late crowds let out of bars at night and make quite a commotion 4 older British style plumbing but with on-demand hot water so the shower stays hot. Would stay here again when visiting this beautiful city.
