The apartment is in an excellent location, literally in the shadow of Edinburgh Castle. However, unless you are a mountain climber, do not follow Google instructions to take Castle Wynd to get to the Castle. There is a much easier approach via West Bow up onto George IV Bridge. All major tourist sites are within walking distance, and the Grassmarket is a lovely area of Edinburgh in which to stay, full of places to eat and drink. There is a Sainsburys Local on West Port, again a few minutes walk from the apartment. The check in instructions were clear once you realise there are two front doors, which is quirky, but very convenient depending on your route back and communication with David was easy, and he always replied very quickly. Two dining recommendations are Dine on Cambridge Street and Vittoria on George IV Bridge. All in all a very pleasant first stay in Edinburgh.
