Wow. We had an amazing time in Edinburgh, and that was partly due to staying at Ann's apartment. The view of the castle is as good as it looks in the pictures, and you are walking distance from the Royal Mile, University of Edinburgh and anything and everything touristy you might want to do in the city. The apartment is at street level so during weekends expect noise late at night after the bar crowd disburses. Kitchen was stocked with milk and coffee which was another plus. Apartment was very clean with fast internet.
