Our family of three adults thought this place was AMAZING. SO much room for just the three of us. Check in was easy. As noted - there are indeed 82 steps to get to the flat. It is a bit of a slog getting up there with your luggage, but once you're there, you're there. Also, the 82 steps makes you plan your trips in and out of the flat a bit more carefully! The flat was just as described - all the amenities were great. So much room in the flat, the three of us could easily lose each other - or head off for a little alone time. The view from the main rooms are amazing. St Giles is right across the street and great views towards the east from the Master bedroom windows. The bells at the church toll every 15 minutes, but not loud enough to disturb the peace and quiet in the flat. As it was late January, we were concerned about heating the flat, but that was not an issue. Very easy to get around and see the sites - the castle is, maybe, an 8 minute walk; the hop on/hop off bus stop is also just up the road; more restaurants, pubs, coffee shops, grocers in the near area than you could possibly want or need. The only 'negative' - is that there always seemed to be a rowdy group walking down the close/alley at the rear of the building when the bars closed. Just enough to wake us up - even with the windows closed. In the big scheme of things - this was just a minor thing.
