Stayed for a couple of days to see the sights in Edinburgh. About a mile from the train station and 10-15 min walk from Old Town so walkable to see the sights. Just a block from the University. It's located a block away from many shops and restaurants. It is on the first floor with the bedroom facing the window so could be loud if you're a light sleeper (I didn't have any problems myself). The apartment was clean, neat, and had everything I need (internet was speedy).
