Location, location, location. The apartment is close to shopping, restaurants and just steps away from Edinburgh Castle. The apartment itself was very nice, clean and well appointed. We had everything we needed and it was nice to have the extra room and kitchen as well. The stairs would be a bit challenging for those that have mobility issues but it was all part of the quaint charm of staying in these older historical buildings. Our host Paul was very responsive and flexible as we worked to finalize plans. We would happily stay here again!
