This is a dream location, you walk out of the building turn right and there you are right at the foot of the castle literally 1-2mins away... it was incredible stay at Mary's and we couldn't have asked for a better location no noise even though near to a busy street, so many dvd's, books, snacks and so many more little details that makes your stay perfect... looks exactly like pictures.. probably better, Mary was extremely communicative and left us many tips... sparkling clean place and a fantastic vintage feel, LOADS of eating places near by and such a happening area... whenever we come back or anyone I know is coming to Edinburgh this is the place I am going to look for... absolutely awesome... go ahead and reserve without second thoughts.
