The location is amazing-- a few blocks to the center of old town, yet somewhat removed from the tourist crowds. There are tons of restaurants of all kinds within about 5 minutes. (we enjoyed Olly Bongo's twice, just downstairs) Very close to the National Museum (worth a day's visit). Yet the apartment is quiet and peaceful and spacious. double windows kept it quiet, and shades kept the bedrooms reasonably dark at night. This is a gem, assuming you are OK with the stairs-- yes, there are a lot of stairs, but you're rewarded with peace and quiet and wonderful views over the rooftops. Communication and check-in were great-- we were greeted there by the co-host, and shown around the apartment when we got there. TV, wifi, shower pressure all great. Would absolutely recommend for anyone visiting Edinburgh!
