Aileen greeted us upon arrival, walked us through the lovely apartment and offered to help us around the town. The place was exactly as advertised - the view is not exaggerated - and it was clean and beautiful. The location is very lively, and not ever too loud; we listened to street performers from the lounge and the bedroom in the back of the flat was quiet at night, even if there was activity on Grassmarket.

It's exactly what you want in Edinburgh during the Fringe!

Seeing the fireworks from the Tattoo every night over the castle was a wonderful bonus.

One last note: they were extremely responsive to any needs we had. The drain in the shower was a bit slow, which happens of course, and they fixed it within a hour! Amazing.
