This flat does have great proximity to the Royal Mile and other Edinburgh activities. It is however above a bar in a university district and is very loud until the early morning hours.
This is also a flat managed by a rental company and means that communication with the host must lead to being routing to the management company once you arrive. It's almost as if the host didn't read my messages but instead just defaulted to a response that the management company will be able to answer any concerns.
Also, there was not any soap /shampoo provided (which I may have been naive to expect) so plan accordingly.
