This apartment is located at the end of the Royal Mile closer to Dynamic Earth, the Parliament buildings, and Holyrood Castle and Arthur's Seat. The location is ideal for many activities. The Old Tollbooth Tavern is right at the opening to the Mile, and is a really tasty restaurant as well as being a local and cozy pub. Clarinda's became our favorite tea room/breakfast location. Turn up the Mile and keep going until you get to St. Giles, Edinburgh castle, and our favorite pub, the Ensign Ewart (quite close to the castle). The apartment itself is very well appointed, maybe best for a couple and their children (two small twin beds and one full size bed). Good size bathroom, kitchen seats four, sitting room very comfortable, with a couch large enough for some to sleep on (my full grown daughter chose to sleep out there). Very comfortable beds, no complaints whatsoever about the overall comfort of the flat itself. Flat has charming/slightly eccentric decorations, and is very cute and efficient. Americans should know that the overall heating system also heats the (shower, bath and tap) water, and does not work the way it does in the States, so check with Gary if you have questions.
