For anyone wanting an authentic flavour of Edinburgh, I would really recommend Alan’s flat. It is quiet, clean and comfortable with some really nice features that combine the modern with the old. The location is great with convenience stores as well as cafes and eateries within a couple of minutes walk in almost every direction. Everything in the City Centre is walkable for those used to city breaks but with luggage, a taxi or Uber might be a good idea. There are buses but we didn’t use them. The flat is on the second floor. The stairs are original , yet another great feature for us, but it was no problem with even big travel bags
