What a wonderful secret spot in Edinburgh's Grassmarket. This location cannot be beat and yes, the photo of Edinburgh Castle was taken from the apartment. This was a mother/daughter trip and we would stay here again in a second. It can be a little loud in the evenings since there a pubs and restaurants right across the street but it is not anything unbearable. There is also a hop on/hop off bus stop right across the street so you can do a tour and be dropped off right in front of the flat. We were sad to leave but we had a wonderful time.
