This apartment is located within yards of the castle grounds and on the Royal Mile. Very convenient and close to Waverly Station where the bus from the airport drops you off, and where you can easily catch a train. Always good to read reviews first, which I had done so I knew that there were many stairs to climb as well as no elevator. Instructions for operating the heating system were easy to follow. It was a perfect apartment from which to do all the sites that Edinburgh had to offer, and close to the University where my daughter attends. John, my host, made sure that keys were available to me on my arrival, and a contact person, should the need arise. Very comfortable and pleasant experience. Thank you.
