John's place is spectacular. Perfect fit for two people and the location couldn't be better. Close to shops and restaurants in the old part of Edinburgh along the Royal Mile. The bus/train station is about a 10 minute walk. If you aren't a fan of a hilly walk or have issues with walking, it's best to get a taxi. We walked everywhere, as Edinburgh is small enough to traverse on foot without a problem. The flat itself is up a short flight of steps and has another inner door so you'll feel safe! The kitchen has eveything you'll need to eat in, should you desire. We'd love to stay with John again should we find ourselves in Edinburgh!
