This was a great flat which was a 20 minute walk to the Royal Mile. In fact, the location is superior to being on the Mile or in Grassmarket which would be noisy and busy all the time. The flat is on a street with food markets, banks, and other stores which is very handy. Livia was a great host answering every question thoroughly and promptly. The flat included some handy local guides and maps. Highly recommend this stay for any length of stay in Edinburgh.
