A perfect spot to enjoy Edinburgh and Scotland. The Grass Market is super close for restaurants, pubs, and coffee. Cabs are there for easy access to the rest of the city. It was beautiful seeing the castle as you walk into the building and from the bedroom window of the flat. We used the washer and dryer once and cooked meals in the kitchen more than a few times during our stay. The bed was comfortable and quiet as the bedroom is on the courtyard side of the flat while the kitchen is on the street side. We watched some of the movies David provided as well as played video games on the PS3. (this was great after a day of sight seeing) He provided some food which was VERY nice as we were drained from traveling upon arrival. There is a small market one block away which was convenient and had a good selection of groceries. David accommodated our early check in and was a very attentive host. We would defiantly stay here again. Thanks Dave! We absolutely loved our Scotland Vacation. (On a side note, if you are interested in a highland tour that is private and more personal, we took a driving tour with Iconic Tours and it was outstanding!! http://www.iconictours.co.uk/)
