This flat is in a great location! Just a short walk to the Royal Mile, it is just far enough from the hustle and bustle of city centre, but still with plenty of restaurants and shops close by for groceries and meals if you want to stay in a night or two. As it is in the university area, there are loads of students around, but I rarely found noise to be an issue. There were a few times where people passing by were having loud conversations at bight, but never at a late hour. You may want to pack a sleep mask, though. There is a street lamp located just outside of the bedroom window that casts light that even two sets of window coverings doesn’t completely block out. Jackie provided a loaf of bread and a package of ham for sandwiches which was a lovely touch and helped greatly. This is a flat very much worth booking if you want to experience Edinburgh without the pains of finding someone in city centre!
