This was such a great place to stay. As others have noted, the location is ideal for touring Edinburgh. We walked everywhere we wanted to go, including hiking Arthur’s Seat and grabbing a train at Waverley station for a day trip out of the city. Grassmarket was a great place to be based with many, many choices of restaurants within a 1 to ten minute walk radius. We had warm weather during our visit, and that meant a lot of people enjoying themselves in outdoor seating at the Grassmarket cafes and pubs but the double glazed front window took care of the noise and we slept well. The apartment is exactly as described and photographed and was sparkling clean. Check in and check out were smooth and efficient. I would stay here again on another trip to Edinburgh.
