Our room in Patrick’s place was private, quiet, and perfectly clean (the sheets smelled so nice!). We were footsteps from the Royal Mile but with none of the noise or hoopla drifting up into our windows. Patrick is thoughtful enough to provide a few extras in the bathroom, like makeup wipes and shampoo, and a nice selection of teas and a carafe of water in the room as well. More importantly, he is a font of useful information about Edinburgh and beyond! You can’t pick a more convenient place if you want to stay in Old Town.
