Gary's apartment is an excellent location in relation to the Royal Mile. We are four retirees in our sixties and we found all of the tourist attractions to be within walking distances. There were lots of good restaurants and pubs nearby as well. One of our favourite take-out restaurants was just at the end of the street called Bene's. The apartment was well-eqipped with a dishwasher, washer-dryer, and everything we needed to have meals at home. I would highly recommend Gary's apartment for anyone spending time in the beautiful city of Edinburgh.
