We stayed at Daniela and Duncan's for five wonderful days! It's in an incredible location - just off the Royal Mile, however the apartment is an oasis of calm and comfort. It's beautifully updated, furnished, and stocked. The kitchen has everything you could need to cook a full meal, and the bathroom finishes are modern and sleek. The shower is great! With the wall-mounted TV and satellite channels we felt like we were staying in a boutique hotel. The bedroom is in the back of the apartment so we were not bothered by street noise. Actually, even in the evening when we were in the living room we did not notice a lot of street noise. There are no bars or late night restaurants in the immediate vicinity. The famous World's End pub is down the street on the corner but their entrance and exit is onto the Royal Mile. Duncan, who met us, was lovely. He helped us park our car (you don't need a car in Edinburgh by the way) and left us champagne and homemade shortbread as welcome gifts. Amazing place in an amazing city!
