Very detailed and smooth arrival to the flat. The host helped me with early check-in (10 am) for 25 gbp.

A bad surprise upon arrival was the lack of elevators and the 2 sets of long stairs that are frankly slippery. My daughter couldn't do them on her own and I had to carry her up and down. It was a back-breaker to carry the bags; and the buggy every time we go out.

The flat was nice and clean. A bit old, but had some good space to relax and enjoy watching some TV while the kids sleep. Most things were available such as pots/pans, tea/coffee and even detergent for washing clothes. Bring your own towels if you stay here as the towels don't dry well.

Good location right in the middle of the Royal mile. Can't avoid the noise of the happening places if sleeping in the living room. On a different note, Royal mile is not where I would stay if I'm ever back in Edinburgh. I felt Princes street area was nicer and more convenient.

Good value for the space and location. Not accessible or suitable if travelling heavy bags or with small children/elderly.
