This apartment is very close to the main train station (WAVERLEY station)--only about a six minute walk. I am an older lady, and I made it fairly easily with a heavy rolling suitcase and a backpack and a purse. Getting up the circular stairs with luggage was a bit challenging, but it is right on High Street (the Royal Mile), just as it turns to Canondale street--directly in the midst of all sorts of great shops, restaurants, and attractions. Catch the hop-on tourist bus right outside! Super nice host was very nice, thoughtful, and offered tea! I would definitely stay there again!
