Fabulously clean place to stay. Great location - no more than 5 minutes walk away from the Castle, Camera Obscura, Waverly Station, Waverley Bridge (where the bus-tours go from), Grassmarket and lots of other interesting places. The Mercat Tour office is directly opposite the apartment which is very useful (we used it to book our first tour - the Haunted Edinburgh, adults only one, which ended with a late night drink in the vaults under the city). Loads of good bars within a few steps from the front door as well! Andrew the host was always on hand at the end of the telephone if and when needed. Despite Andrew advising that the shower could be temperamental - I found it one of the best and easiest showers I've ever used (and I'm usually useless with showers - I either get frozen or scalded!)
