Lovely place, central to great stuff. I mean, almost all of Edinburgh is totally walkable, but Rose street is a really nice area and even though much of what we wanted to do was on the other side of the main town, it was only a 15 min walk away.
To keep expectations in check, remember: this city has history! Do not expect all 90 degree angles, and painted perfection. We thought this place had great character, was plenty of room, and had a great feel to it. Would definitely come again, and not even bother looking at other options.
