The location is good relative to accessibility to a bus route which gets you into the heart of the old city within about 10 minutes. Also close to Dean’s Village which is about a 20-30 minute walk and a beautiful place to visit and a Tesco is about a 5 minute walk away. The flat looks more or less like the photos however what we didn’t realize is that it’s located at a busy intersection and is also right over a laundromat. From 8:30 am - 7 pm, the mechanical noise and shaking floor in the kitchen can be a real annoyance…. But then if you’re visiting Edinburgh it’s a good idea to get out and visit the sites. The kitchen is equipped with high end appliances that we found challenging to use - and there was no microwave. Communication with the host was pretty good - questions were responded to promptly.
