This is a lovely apartment very near the Royal Mile that is quiet and spacious. It retains a few of the historical elements of the building, such as fireplaces from the 1600's. The kitchen and bathrooms are modernized with dishwasher (but no soap), small washing machine (with detergent), oven and cook-top. Kitty kindly includes oil, vinegar, and spices along with coffee. She located the nearest markets for us and we were set for three days of relaxation after being on tour for two weeks in Ireland and Scotland. Just what we needed.
