Great location at Grassmarket and short walk to High Street restaurants and shopping. Only two things that could be a negative for you in considering this unit. It's on the third floor with no elevator, so if carrying up luggage 3 flights of stairs is a problem for you, consider another unit. Also on nice evenings outside the bedroom window is a hillside where people hang out from a hostel until very late at night. One night they were out there at 2:30 in the morning. If you are a light sleeper this could be a problem.
