This apartment is in a great location for Edinburgh Old Town and the Castle. We stayed here during the Fringe Festival and we really appreciated being so close to the Royal Mile and the venues of so many shows. The owner was very good at organising the check in process and I was very grateful that I could leave our bags at the apartment while it was being cleaned. Sadly for us, we were disturbed by the building work next door - I suspect that when I booked the apartment last year, the owner didn't know the building work was going to be happening but I would have appreciated being warned about it before we checked in. There were nice touches in the apartment: the owner left us a complimentary bottle of wine and a box of shortbread biscuits. There is soap and moisturizer attached to the wall in the bathroom but we had to buy shower gel for in the shower. There is a Sainsbury's supermarket less than a 2 min walk away so provisions were very easy to get. There are also lots of little cafes and restaurants on Grassmarket so plenty of choice if you want to eat out.
