The location of the flat was perfect for walking and exploring the Royal Mile. It is an uphill walk from the train station. The flat is in a close so it was a little tricky to find the first time. The flat was clean and ready upon our arrival. It is on the "forth" floor. For Americans, that is the fifth floor, as Europeans do not count the ground floor as the first floor. This was not a problem for me but those with heavy luggage will want to keep this in mind. The apartment was quiet and had clean bedding and towels. John does an excellent jobs of providing information about the area. I would say the biggest selling point for this flat its proximity to the Royal Mile.
