If you want to be in the middle of all the action of the Royal Mile, this is your place! Convenient to pubs, fine dining, the castle, Grassmarket, New Town, and a little over a mile walk to the base of Arthur's Seat hike! The convenience is nice for breaks throughout the day.. you can go out in the morning to explore, stop by Greg's and grab a sausage roll, have a quick lunch in the apartment and then head out for your afternoon/evening adventures! Plus, how cool is it to stay in Riddles Close, one of the oldest and most important spots?! John and Angie are super helpful! I would absolutely stay here again!
