Carols place is in a great location for all the historic places in Edinburgh. It was a short walk both to the palace, Arthur’s seat hike and castle . She provided all needed supplies and the beds were very comfortable. My teenaged boys loved the pull out beds in the lounge and said they were super comfortable. The hot shower was plentiful! There were plenty of cooking supplies and dishes but great restaurants nearby so no need to cook. She provided coffee, tea, hot chocolate, milk, sugar and the basic supplies for cooking. There were many pamphlets for local attractions and Carol was very quick to respond to questions and gave ideas for how best to access venues. The coded key entry system was great! It was during the fringe festival but far enough away that there were not crowds of people and the noise was not bad. We would definitely recommend this to anyone looking to stay in the royal mile area.
