Michael was the best host. He helped us find parking near his flat and walked us through the building entrance procedures (Really easy). His flat really is in the best location, and that's what you're paying for. It's a 10 minute walk to the Edinburgh Castle which was great after a long night at the Military Tattoo (AMAZING). The flat itself is nice but there is evidence of wear and tear all around. We were able to overlook the old carpets and questionable toilet because of Michael's sweet hospitality and the ideal location of his flat. So, if you are looking for a place to lay your head for the night on the Royal Mile, this place is perfect.
