Great spot near the "new town" area. We walked everywhere around Edinburgh from the flat. You can get to old town in about 15 minutes, everything is very walkable and it's a nice spacious flat with a separate living room and small kitchen. Tip: turn the heat off at night or the furnace will wake you up in the middle of the night from how loud it is. We ended up using the hot water foot warmer at night which was fine.
