Anne's place is very nice and in a perfect location down an ally, or "close" as they are called in Edinburgh, right in the center of the Royal Mile. There is a grocery store 5 minutes away on foot and it is a very convenient walk to Waverly train station and various tour operators (we used Heart of Scotland and Timberbush). It was perfect for our week long stay in Edinburgh - both for seeing Edinburgh, but also accessing options for travel outside the city. The place is well maintained and clean. A few other reviews pointed out noise from the ally at night. We did notice this as well, but it wasn't consistent. The noise wasn't so loud that it kept me awake and I'm a pretty light sleeper, but it does happen. We wondered if it might be related to ghost tours that take place at night, but not sure. Anne and her support people were very responsive to any questions we had. They texted me soon after check-in to make sure everything was ok and were always available to answer questions. We will most certainly look for Anne's place if we're lucky enough to return to Edinburgh in the future.
