A few locale shops and markets around, it’s about 30mins walk to the mile and Edinburgh castle. Smaller apartment with secured entrance but no one closes the the front door. The unit is on the 4th floor with many stairs and you will need a flashlight because there are no lights past the first floor. The host is nice and added a few touches but the neighbor below in unit 8 is very loud at night. The floors creak very easily and if you walk to the bathroom or kitchen at night they will sometimes voice their displeasure.
