Imagine this--you're on the Royal Mile, right in the smack of the pedestrian stretch where there are crowds and street performers, and then you get to go through a gate and walk up a stone spiral staircase to a spacious flat with amazing views to New Town. All of a sudden you have your private place separate from all the exciting events down below. Also very quiet with the exception of some late night revelers on a busy Saturday night. Everything was easy and Jo was very accommodating with requests about storing our luggage.
