Colin's place is amazingly clean and perfectly situated. We're from the U.S. and this was our second vacation to Edinburgh. The first time, we stayed in a place overlooking the Royal Mile--BIG MISTAKE! It was extremely loud with tourists, bars, and garbage trucks making noise during the day and throughout the night. I read some reviews that this place is noisy, but I couldn't disagree more, and was very pleased, especially given its proximity to the Royal Mile. We used a fan app on our phones at night and I'm not even convinced that we needed them at all. **BONUS FEATURE: The views from the east side of the house (kitchen and living room) are breathtaking with clear views of Aurthur's Seat and the apartment had everything we needed. Check-in/Check-out was easy. Hosts were responsive. Couldn't have asked for better! Thanks again.
