The flat was just as described and the view of the castle was just as shown. The flat was very clean and perfect for 5 of us - 3 adults, 2 kids. The flat was VERY convenient location to everything - grocery store just up the block, a few blocks away from many restaurants (lots of variety), and a 10 min walk away from the castle, Royal Mile, and easy to walk to many of sites in central Edinburgh. Taiba was very helpful in answering our questions before our stay and made it very simple for us to get into the flat upon arrival. I'd highly recommend this flat if you're wanting to be close to all the action in central Edinburgh - we spent 2 days in Edinburgh and were able to walk everywhere we went, only using the tram to get to/from the airport (which was also just a 20 min walk to the flat).
