Great location and great deal! We didn't have to get any public transport to see the Castle or climb Arthur's seat, and there were plenty of places to eat and drink in the evenings nearby. The apartment was exactly as it appeared in the photos. My only complaint was that the heating was intensely hot when it turned on automatically three times a day (we stayed in February), to the point that we were quite sweaty just watching TV. But I'm sure this can be turned off if you bother to look so I wouldn't let it put you off. Overall fantastic.
