Great stay on the castle end of old town Edinburgh. It is right next door to the castle stadium (not shown in pictures) so we got to hear a concert when we were in town. But the location is literally the apartment, the stadium, the castle. And the Grassmarket area is just down a couple flights of steps across the road from the apartment. Great little 2 bedroom apartment, with everything you need. There are 2 flights of stairs to climb to reach the apartment (one being circular in a dimly lit stairwell, and one outside the building) if that is something of a concern to you. The area is very safe, and we would have no hesitations about recommending this rental!
