Brilliant location right in the heart of the Royal Mile - really could not be closer to the main tourist attractions of Edinburgh (just over 5 mins walk to the castle!) and can even get an airport bus right to the main street outside. Lots of cafes and restaurants nearby so very easy to eat out and Princes Street and its gardens (for Christmas markets when we visited) is an easy walk. With the sofa bed the apartment was the perfect size for our group of 3 and really cosy and warm even though we visited in the freezing depths of December. Has really made the most of an old traditional building while still having everything we needed (wifi, kettle, good heating and hot water etc). Really appreciated the clear directions and check in instructions. Highly recommend if you want to be right in the heart of Edinburgh and stay somewhere really authentic.
