Location l, location location! This is the best part about this place. It is located right on Victoria street close to the most important attractions in old town Edinburgh. The Royal Mile is right there. Castles. Tour buses pick up close by the apartment. The building is very old though, so when the ad says it's old, the host is being serious! Internet is a bit on the slow side but I agree that most folks dont travel for the internet... Maggie is super nice and responds to messages fast too.
