We loved staying at Nathan's place. It's the perfect mix of period details and charm with modern conveniences. The apartment was roomy, and very cozy with a large living room and bedroom, nice kitchen and bathroom. The apartment was light and airy (Edinburgh weather permitting) One of the best things which we loved was the clear view of the Castle from the bedroom window. If you're there during the military tattoo, you get a front row seat of the fireworks every night from the comfort of your own bed. The location is quite central, with several conveniences like grocery store, cafe, and other shops nearby. (There's a massage/yoga place right downstairs) Nathan was a warm and friendly host who really made us feel welcome - he even stocked the place with juice coffee and breakfast things. He was quite helpful and communicative before and during our stay and even was nice enough to reply to my general questions about Edinburgh during the festival - weather, taxis, restaurants etc. We hope to be back at some point!

The place is up several flights of steps which was not a problem for us even with a small child and all the gear that comes with it, but you should be aware of it.
