Fantastic location with great views! Well equipped kitchen and very welcome comfy bed. Great shower and very efficient Hive controlled heating. Nice and clean too. Perfect if you want to be right on the Royal Mile....and ever wondered what was hidden behind those mysterious old gates between the shops. Yes the spiral steps are high and steep as others have said, and you only want to carry your bags up once - but what a setting once you get to the top - Edinburgh lit up at night from the top of the roofs is stunning! . We would have liked it to feel a little more cosy - especially some softer lighting in the lounge for winter evenings.
