We can only echo what other reviews have said about this wonderful apartment. It is beautiful, comfortable, very well equipped with countless wonderful little touches, and we never tired of the views of the castle. We stayed eight nights and would happily have stayed much longer (at least in the apartment; we were not unhappy to leave Edinburgh several days into a city-wide garbage collection strike!) The apartment could not be more centrally located, and yet while it is in the very busy and noisy Grassmarket area (especially so during the Festival), it is calm and tranquil. The windows do not face the Grassmarket square itself but a back street running along the castle rock; and while you can hear some loud voices from that back street with the windows open, you hear nothing from the bedroom as it has no windows facing the street but only a big skylight (with another great view of the castle). It always felt like an oasis and escape after a long day in the crowded city. We always felt so happy in opening the front door and entering this beautiful, tranquil space. And what better recommendation can there be than that?
