Amazing location, just under Edinburgh Castle and a two-minute walk to Grassmarket, one of the great plazas of the city, with the start of the Royal Mile a steep but short hike up the hill and a number of the best restaurants in the city within 5 to 10 minutes walk. With grocery and other shopping just a few minutes in the other direction, we had everything we needed, including good transportation access. The apartment is compact but extremely clean and well-appointed. A great introduction to Edinburgh!
