Excellent location on the Royal mile, in the middle of it where the 3 red telephone booths are. just about 5-8mins away from Train station. By the way, High Street is literally on the high ground so prepare yourself for a workout.
A little struggle to get to the apartment on 2nd floor with the large suitcases we had, need to go up narrow flight of straight stairs and another flight of narrow circular stairs.
Heating in all the rooms & bathrooms is very needed in the winter season. Washer was also very helpful. Very equipped kitchen. Very clean.
Friendly contact person Oliver, give good suggestions on food, activities and sights to visit.
It’s an old building, which means no lifts, no sound proofing, wooden floor creaks when we walk. Rather small bed rooms if we were to open our suitcases in the room. Also very impractical is that there’s 2 individual taps at the basin for extremely hot water and extremely cold water. You have to choose either super hot water or super cold water since it’s 2 separate taps & not 1 combined flow.
Overall 8/10. Recommended for excellent location & good hosts if u can overlook all the limitations of an old building.
