We enjoyed the location of the apartment. It is a short walk to the Royal Mile and to the train station. It was easy to walk to any of the locations we wanted to visit. Our host had complete instructions on the space and anticipated many of the needs of her guests. Our problem with the space was the noise. It is next to a youth hostel and they were loud. It is also surrounded by businesses that had patrons until very late at night. Patsy provided ear plugs and closing the windows helped. I am a light sleeper and I in particular had trouble sleeping several nights. I know our son did too. It was hot with the windows closed. You have to weigh the convenience of the space and the amenities against the noise.
