Excellent location for a weekend trip. Halfway down the Royal Mile with the castle only a short walk away, the palace only 5 minutes down the road, Calton Hill 15 away and a good spot to start the short jaunt to Arthurs Seat. You're literally in the UNESCO heritage listed Old Town and 5-10 minutes from the train station and the New Town. Perfect spot.
Comuinication was spot on from the get go and throughout. Check in and out simple with the assistance of a central pick up / drop off location (2 minutes from the flat).
The flat was beautiful. Bathroom and shower supurb, large living room with a futon (which i found very comfortable) and the main room was large and the bed i hear was lush. The llittle nook in the kitchen is a good spot for a morning cup of tea to watch the world go by with a brilliant view of the mile.
Would stay again in a heart beat.
