LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION. This flat is LITERALLY overlooking the Royal Mile in the heart of Old Town. Can’t beat it. The flat was very spacious and homey. There were lots of leaflets and helpful tips scattered around for you to peruse. The bedroom is located in the back of the apartment, so the noise of the street is not an issue. The living room/sofa bed overlooks the Royal Mile but the noise was still not much of an issue, as most bars and restaurants close reasonably early. The host was incredibly responsive and the check-in directions were very thorough and helpful! We did have a couple small issues, but these didn’t greatly impact our stay. We had to hunt around the flat for quite some time in order to find toilet paper (which was very frustrating after traveling all morning) and enough towels for all of the people in our group. The shower drain was also rather clogged, so water was pooling and filling the basin as you took a shower. Overall though, this place was an excellent value for the money and the proximity was unbelievable!
