We loved staying at this cozy apartment with a view of the castle. It is close to everything you will want to see in Edinburgh but away from the more touristy-feeling Royal Mile. David stocked a nice little welcome basket and has outfitted the spotless apartment so that you can get heat immediately, have a hot shower, and the bedroom is in the back so that you don't get too much street noise. Coded access meant that we never had to worry about losing a key. David is very responsive to inquiries and requests. We would happily stay here again.
