We stayed during the Edinburgh Fringe Festival so it was amazing to be right in the centre of things. In the morning we drank coffee and watched all the interesting things going on on the Royal Mile. It is a very special flat and is beautifully decorated. There are around 60 stairs to go up to get to it but we didn't mind that, it doesn't take long. From previous reviews we thought there might be some problem with noise at night and in the early morning. There was a bit with recycling being emptied and deliveries being made from the pubs - but I live in London so the hustle and bustle doesn't bother me and I slept fine. My companion lives by the sea and said she'd consider getting ear plugs if we ever stay again - but we stayed for two nights and it wasn't so desperate a situation that she sought them out for the second night.
All in all we are so happy we found this beautiful flat and we'd definitely look at staying again next year.
