LOCATION! LOCATION! LOCATION! Out the front door, up a flight of stairs and left to the entrance to Edinburgh Castle; right at the top of the stairs leads down the Royal Mile. Go down the stairs for bus stops, Grassmarket, and Victoria Street.
Add to location a view of the Castle, which at night is spectacular; a self-contained flat with everything we needed, including laundry, a warm and comfortable bed, and most importantly, a host that is thoughtful, helpful, and quick with replies to questions.
We will definitely stay at Olive's place again!
