Lovely location— so close to the Water of Leith walkway—which is beautiful! Dean’s Village is a calm contrast to the city bustle. The walk to the castle and Royal Mile is around 30 minutes, but totally doable. There is also a grocery store about a 6 minute walk away.
Beds were firm, but comfortable. Couches were great. Shower got very hot.. which was nice because it was cold while we were there. We had difficulty understanding how to turn on the heaters and didn’t realize that they take overnight to heat up. It was quite cold in the apartment.
