The flat is in the perfect location for visiting Edinburgh. Centrally located and close to everything - historic sites, the Royal Mile, pubs, even a grocery store (Sainsbury). My only caution is that, as advertised, the flat is a walk up so you need to be prepared to do stairs (which is true for most of Old Town anyway). The flat itself was well equipped with everything you could possibly need. I would definitely stay there again (and may on my next trip over the pond).
