I'll cut to the chase. You're paying for the view and location here. And I'd say with that in mind there's no place better! You come down the stairs and around the corner literally is the Castle, Camera Obscura and the Royal Mile. The views are expansive and incredible! That said, the building is 100+ years old, there's drafts because thats how things are built. So it does get a bit chilly at night when it's windy but the blanket kept us warm. But as I said I'd trade the cool room for the view and location again and again and again! John met us and even carried my wife's suitcase up the stairs. I found the washer/dryer a bit tough to dry my clothes but in Canada we have seperate dryers so I would blame that more on my lack of knowledge than anything with the flat. Loved our stay and would stay again in a heartbeat. WiFi was fast and reliable.
