We cannot think of a better place to stay in Edinburgh, next to the castle, near to Graassmarket, shopping, museums etc. Wonderful to arrive and be able to eat a slice of bread and drink a cup of tea with milk ready in the refrigerator. We are a family of five - we were informed that it would be a little tight, but knowing that in advance it was just fine. The apartment is not too small for a family. It was a great help, that Charlotte gave us maps and informed us about where to go and how to go there.
