We booked this flat for a two week stay in Edinburgh. The flat met all our requirements--it was clean, easy to communicate with the owner who accommodated our early arrival. it is well stocked with cookware should you want to eat in (it's near a number of grocery shops). There is a washer and dryer in the building (2 pounds to wash 1 to dry). The view of the Edinburgh castle was a treat to see every day. The location is incredibly convenient to get to the Grassmarket, shopping on Princes street, the Royal Mile, Rose Street for pubs by foot or you can utilize the public transportation. Susan was a wonderful host and immediately returned our texts if we had a question. Book this flat and you will not be disappointed.
