Perfect family setup. We had 2 adults and two children (7 and 10) and really appreciated all the touches to make staying here effortless. There are books for readers of any age, as well as games and even a small set of Legos! The kitchen cupboards are stocked with seasonings and there are plenty of dishes. The washing machine was great to have and the two full baths were a treat. There is a nice grocery store and sundries shopping very nearby.
Location notes: The unit is 2 miles from Edinburgh Castle, 1.4 miles from "The Real Mary King's Close, and 0.8 miles from the Palace of Holyrood. There is a lot of elevation change over those distances, and while we found ourselves doing a lot of walking during our visit we also used an Uber a few times to help with worn out legs. Uber rides were about 5-6 GBP in one direction or the other.
