Vincente is a wonderful host! The flat is right in the heart of the Royal Mile close to just about everything one would want to see. The flat is a five minute walk to Edinburgh castle, a five minute walk to the new town in just about five or 10 minutes to anything else. It is literally 20 yards from the Royal Mile and Saint Giles CathedralThe flat is impeccably maintained, roomy and very well furnished. Vincente notified us the day before our arrival that the washing machine was broken. He graciously arranged for his cleaning service to collect our dirty clothes, of which there were many because we are a a five halfway through our trip, and had them returned fully washed, dried and folded the next day. This was incredibly kind and especially helpful to us. I highly recommend Vincente and his flat for your needs in Edinburgh.
