Right in the heart of Edinburgh, easy walking to pretty much everything. We were there on warm Friday and Saturday nights, so there was plenty of revelry outside until the pubs closed, but it was a pleasant sound. The flat itself is very comfortable and well-appointed. Also, excellent showers (lots of hot water and high water pressure). If you're driving, you'll need to find a parking garage, but there is one a few blocks away that is reasonably priced. Overall, we found this place to be excellent. Convenient, pleasant, and well-maintained.
