The apartment is a great base to discover Old Town, the Castle, Arthur's Seat and the museums as its literally at their steps. It is also 20min away from New Town by foot, so quite walkable. The neighborhood itself is full of great restaurants and pubs, with an amazing breakfast spot right outside the front door! It's in a lively neighborhood, but the nightlife never was a problem as the bedroom is quite peaceful. One awesome bonus: there's a great shower, after a long day of hiking and sightseeing its a nice relaxing touch!! Overall would definitely recommend.
