We loved this cottage! Great location- just down the steps from Royal Mile & Edinburgh Castle. And it is one short block to the restaurants & stores in Grassmarket. We were able to walk everywhere, which saved us money. The view from the upstairs sitting room was stunning! The cottage was very quiet & private, yet it's right in the center of town, which is rare. The full kitchen with a washer/dryer was much appreciated. And the property manager was helpful & replied quickly when we had a question. Stay here- you will not be disappointed!
