Great property in the heart of New Town with about 10 minute walk to St. Giles Cathedral which is in the middle of the Royal Mile. Amazing views of the city and the apartment is perfect for a family since it has two king-sized beds and a larger couch. However, if you have any problems with stairs or are a light sleeper, consider finding something else. We are a young healthy family so the 5 flights of stairs weren't an issue but the noises at night from the local clubs near by and folks speeding around the streets showing off their loud engine was tough to sleep through. Ear plugs will solve this problem. Lastly,there were so many resteraunts, pubs, shops, and clubs near by you'll have no problem conveniently enjoying Edinburgh right out your door step. Hope this helps.....
