Amazing location for every major attactions in Edinburgh, as well as numerous bars ans restaurant. The appartment being in a close square, it is relatively quiet, although during one night of our stay (Saturday), you could hear some people outside after the pub were closed. Alan was great in responding to our questions and needs prior to our arrival. The only down side was the sofa bed, which cannot be used. It is very very uncomfortable, so if you are planning to use it (for one or two people), forget it, unless you are ready to share the double bed, which is comfortable.
