The flat was perfect for my needs. I'd been to Edinburgh several times before and was there for two weeks, solo, for work. The space was exactly as described and pictured, was clean & well-appointed (e.g. comfortable bed, hot shower, usable kitchen) and the view of Holyrood Park from the living room window was the selling point for me when I booked and did not disappoint. Stephen's communication is excellent. The street is a quiet one (much appreciated for me as I was there to write in the flat) and feels off the beaten path, but also felt safe to me as a woman travelling alone. In terms of location, the flat is 5 minutes from London Road in one direction & the Holyrood Palace/Parliament end of the Royal Mile in the other. I wasn't there to site-see this time but it's a very good location for that as well--it's within a 15-30 minute walk of most major sites in the Old Town and New Town and, again, the flat backs up to and looks out on the gorgeous Holyrood Park (you can see Arthur's Seat from one side of the window). I recommend the place highly and will look forward to returning myself on a future stay in Edinburgh.
