Rachel's flat is an absolutely wonderful place to stay! It was very clean and economically furnished but still charming and inviting. The beds and sitting areas are very comfortable and the bathroom is clean. As Rachel mentions in her flat manual, the place definitely does retain heat well but opening up the bedroom and living room windows made the flat markedly cooler and it was actually quite fun to hear the hustle and bustle of the fun Rose Street outside. The flat is also centrally located in New Town (and not too far a walk to the Royal Mile) but because it's not on a main street, there isn't the problem of too much noise/hustle and bustle. Rachel herself was very thorough with her flat manual and also very communicative when I had questions during my stay. Would stay here again in a heartbeat!
