Great location -only a very short walk to Edinburgh Castle! and beautiful does get a bit loud on the street as expected for it's location but the noise does die down in the middle of the night until about 6am when the hubbub begins again. It's fine if you're a deep sleeper. We used the carpark spot available which is about 15 min walk away. You need to be able to load and unload your car quite quickly as it's a no stopping street. The apartment is up about 2 flights of stairs-very dark at night. Ok if you are fit and able to take your luggage with you or have light luggage. Recommended stay if you want to be in the middle of it!
