The flat has a nice view of the castle lit up at night from the front step. It's a quiet street, but easy to walk to a number of shops, restaurants, and pubs. We also found it very easy to walk into the heart of Edinburgh, and even to the train station. The flat itself was nice, amenities were fine, and we were comfy enough when we decided to stay in. We recommend to any young couple looking for a quiet place to use as a home base when exploring the city!
