Location was great to be in the hustle and bustle of the city; the close empties out on to the Royal Mile on one end and just outside Waverly Station on the other. This made it easy to explore. The kitchen is most ideally utilized for takeaway, would not suggest for cooking/baking. It lacks surfaces such as side tables in the living room and entry way. Couch and chairs in living area are super cozy and comfortable. The shower is of smaller proportions, fit our kids great though! There are no shelves in the shower for soap/shampoo, etc. The door to the bedroom with the twin beds can not be opened all the way due to the bed being in the way, the same applies to the closet door. One of the twin beds abuts that open closet. It's easy to fall into the closet if you are an active sleeper. All this is information I would have wanted to know before staying here. That being said it is a nice location for a "home base" for exploring Edinburgh.
