The apartment is clean and modern, well-equipped, and reasonably well-located - on the eastern edge of the New Town, about a 15 minute walk to the train station and 30 minutes to the castle. There was convenient shopping, and pubs / restaurants right nearby. The street noise was more than I expected. Although it was not on an extremely busy street, it’s not a quiet side street either, and the noise of passing cars is magnified by the cobble-stoned streets, while the apartment’s windows are not sound-proofed. It’s an impersonal experience — you won’t meet or talk with your landlord — which can be a plus for some and a negative for others.
