My husband and I enjoyed our stay in this flat right off the royal mile. The location is optimal being so close to Edinburgh castle, many shops, and restaurants. You aren’t able to see the castle from the flat windows, but you do get a nice view of lawnmarket street and shops. The flat was a good size for my husband and I. The bathroom is quite small including a very tight shower. There is also a bit of mold on ceiling of the shower. I let the host know. We did not have any troubles sleeping. There was noise from the street below but that comes with staying in the heart of the city center right on the royal mile. I also liked hearing bagpipes when I woke up in the morning. The stairs getting up to the flat are not for the faint of heart while carrying heavy luggage, so be mindful. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and absolutely loved the location!
