The location of the apartment is excellent for being right in the middle of the fringe festival or just to come to Edinburgh to see the sights. The five floors (70 steps) to the apartment was not easy with all the luggage, but someone coming for a weekend and one bag it's fine. The apartment is big and quiet, plenty of space for our family (my wife and I plus two kids). If you want to make coffee in the morning (I like this), I would ask the owner to provide. There wasn't one there for us which was a little disappointing but not that big of a deal.
