Location location location!! David’s flat is right on the royal mile and located in the same close as the writers museum. There’s beautiful quotes from famous authors on the pavers in the close. You can hear a bag piper on the street inside the flat, which felt like a very immersive experience. Everything in Old Town is in walking distance and it was so convenient. There’s a mashed potato bar right by the flat with amazing food. The flat itself was very nice and clean. The washer and drying rack were put to good use. We loved staying in such a modern flat in a super old building with the exposed stone walls. The only drawback are the stairs. We only really minded them the first and last climbs when we had to carry suitcases, though. The view from the top immediately makes it worth it. Had a lovely time in Edinburgh and this flat was an excellent home base.
