This place is a few minutes walk to the Royal Mile, Greyfriars kirk yard is literally in the backyard, and across the street from the National Museum of Scotland. You cannot wish for a better location for touring the city on foot. The apartment was spotless and we were able to drop our bags off early. We met the cleaner who was absolutely lovely. The beds, bedding and the livingroom furniture were very comfy. It can be loud at night since The University of Edinburgh is a few blocks away and the building is old with single pane windows so bring ear plugs. We slept fine. Also be prepared for 2 floors of turret stairs to the apartment from the street entrance. Not at all a problem if you have carry-on sized luggage, a bit hilarious if you have a monstrously sized bag like one of our friends brought. I would absoltely stay here again.
