Great little place in the heart of the old city. Walking distance to the Royal Mile and Edinburgh Castle and just around the corner to cool pubs, restaurants, University and grocery stores. We were a family of four and stayed for 3 nights. While the apartment is small, the layout works well and provides a feeling that it is bigger than it actually is. Tight quarters in the kitchen but manageable. Overall the apartment was very clean, beds comfortable and everything is as shown in the pictures. As the apartment is close by to local pubs it can be a little noisy at times. We read about this in past reviews so was aware but it wasn't too much of a problem with only one of the three evenings a bit louder than we'd like. We also read that other guests had been met, showed the apartment and had appreciated the sightseeing advice of the host along with the special touch of fresh flowers in the rooms. We did not have this experience. However, we are fairly independent travellers and do not necessarily need or expect to be met by the host but note the place is a bit difficult to find. We walked around a few blocks / alley ways with our luggage in the heat trying to locate as it wasn't clear on the map I had downloaded previous to arriving (No cell coverage) so wished I had downloaded a picture of the location as well.
