This is an amazing location for staying in Edinburgh! The apartment is comfortable and modern. As other reviewers have noted: it can be noisy at night with partiers using the alley as a shortcut. A note about the alley: to get to the apartment means walking down a steep alley that is a bit slippery when it is wet. This is not a good location for anyone with mobility issues. The second bedroom is small , no room for the suitcase, and under a stairway that accesses other apartments. Whoever uses that bedroom will hear people coming and going at all hours. Given all that, we would happily stay here again.
