The flat is in a wonderful location. It is located in Grassmarket which is a steep walk up Victoria to the stairs to get to the Royal Mile. We loved the workout though. The flat in located up a concrete spiral staircase 2.5 floors up and I loved the history of the building. The flat is AMAMZING and better than the pictures show. The kitchen is wonderful and there was a half gallon of milk waiting for us. The rooms are open and large as well. The only drawback would be prepare for a noisy night until the pubs close in the wee morning. In order to make the flat cooler we had the windows open but by 10 pm we had to shut them to try and drown the noise out. Overall it was a fantastic flat and perfect for our family.
