We loved staying at Naoko's apartment! We had an early flight into Edinburgh and I sent over a quick message to Naoko to ask about bags. He was very quick to respond and allowed us to have early access to the apartment as soon as it was available. After a quick nap we explored the area and quickly found out that we were right off of the Grassmarket. Two minutes from the Grassmarket, five minutes from Victoria Street and the Royal Mile, 10 minutes or less into Old City, we were able to walk to EVERYTHING. We even took a walk into New City twice for some shopping and dinner! The apartment was quaint and full of character, perfect for two people and thanks to suggestions from other reviews we even made some friends across the street at the Dragonfly. Make sure to stop by for some of the best cocktails you've ever had and say hello to Ben, Jen and Ned for us! If I ever get back to Edinburgh I would definitely stay here again.
