Location was perfect, with everything within walking distance. The Grassmarket is directly out the door, which allowed us to simply step outside for great dining and entertainment options. Apartment was clean, well appointed, and had a washing machine which was very helpful given we were touring Scotland for three weeks. Host provided easy to follow instructions for finding the apartment and check in. Would highly recommend. Only thing that might be a drawback to some is that there are several steps to get to the flat.
