We were a family of 4, with a 2 & 7 year old. We really enjoyed our stay in Lyndas flat as we were able to walk everywhere. Being on the 3rd floor didn't bother us too much - it just took a few minutes more with a 2 year old walking up or down the stairs. The spacious flat is lovely & light with views of the castle. We had views of the fireworks every night from the tattoo. The windows aren't double glazed so there is some noise from outside, mainly the fire engine sirens, but both children slept through this. We made use of the kitchen a couple of nights which was well stocked with utensils & pots & pans. We would be happy to return.
