The apartment is near the castle, 3 min walking to a bus stop. All on one level so no issues if you are travelling with seniors or someone with mobility issues. There is a car park just next door which can be booked online but it doesn’t allow vans. The area is pretty lively. We wish the washrooms were a little larger but I guess in city centre space is pretty precious. Over all a good stay and would love to come back. Edinburgh is an awesome place to visit.
