Fabulous location! Windows of apartment overlook Lawnmarket which is a very busy street that takes you down to Holyrood Palace and up to Edinburgh Castle. We were able to walk to all the sites, shopping, and restaurants in minutes. The apartment was tidy and had plenty of room for our needs. Something to note is the noise level. You can hear people upstairs and in the stairwell quite well as they come and go. You do not hear people on the street though. We would definitely stay here again. Paul communicates clearly and quickly.
