Great location right on the Royal Mile. If you are only in town for a few days, this is a great location near the castle, and other sites in old town. The street below is very busy during the day but we were out all day site seeing so the noise did not bother us. It was quiet at night- bedrooms are mostly in the back so any street noise is not an issue. Beds were comfortable and bed linens were good. The towels are a bit worn but fine. As another reviewer said, the kitchen and bathrooms have been updated but the 2nd toilet is very hard to use unless you are a small child- it is in a very small closet so impossible to close the door and use it at the same time..but there are 2 good showers although we had issues with hot water in the 2nd shower. Kelly was very responsive and had a plumber come out. The living space was nice. But you need to be prepared for very old carpets, floors, doors, etc. On first impression, we were a bit disappointed- the apartment seemed a bit dingy and worn out. But the beds were comfortable, bathrooms good (except the 2nd toilet, kitchen seemed good (but we did not use it), lots of beds so our kids could each have their own room, and the location was so central- that we ended up really liking the apartment. Just know, that on first impression the apartment can look a bit worn out. Check in/Check out was very easy. Host was very responsive.
