Had a nice two nights at Alan's Place right on the Royal Mile -- literally this is THE location if you want to walk everywhere -- only a scant 15 minutes up the hill to the Castle and tons of pubs, restaurants within walking distance. Alan met us at the door and gave us a short tour of the place and some recommendations for local pubs, attractions, etc. Even though this is on the second floor over a pub and a on busy part of the mile -- it is very quiet inside due to the soundproof glass windows everywhere. The one in the main back bedroom is very heavy so have Alan show you how to raise it if you want some air back there -- especially on a warm night. I would recommend this apartment to anyone wanting to be close to the action in this amazing city.
