Can't say enough about the location - This flat is in the best location - walking distance to Royal Street, Calton hill, train station and buses including Rabbis tour group. While there is definite charm to an older building, the flat was dated - old carpets, old kitchen appliances and the air felt dank & damp throughout apt. We didn't use the kitchen given its condition but would have liked to. Small touches would have been appreciated - paper towels, more toilet paper, bottle water, written notes on supermarkets nearby, the neighborhood, etc. But the flat fulfilled what we needed most - great location and safe place to sleep.
