Location, location, location. Maggie's place is perfectly situated for exploring Edinburgh! You quite literally could not ask for a better home base to see Grassmarket, the Royal Mile, Edinburgh Castle, or the Scottish Museums. The building is a bit old and dated, but that's to be expected given the area, and it never caused us any issues. Because Maggie's place is so close to all of the main sites, we were able to pop home to freshen up or grab things we'd forgotten whenever we wanted, which was so nice. I'd highly recommend booking this location if you are looking for a place in Edinburgh's old town!
