Olives place is absolutely lovely! Very quaint and has the best view of the castle. Location is fantastic since it is located just one quick flight of stairs from the entrance of Edinburg castle and the top of the Royal Mile. The Royal Mile has all of these shops, bars, restaurants right there which was super convenient for my first night there. It’s also about a 5 minute walk down to the festival grounds - I walked everywhere and had no issues!
Something to note: there is no lift in the building (only one flight of stairs up to the apartment though) and the entrance to the apartment building is located smack dab in the middle of outdoor stairs, so for those traveling with large bags you will have to carry them up/down! I didn’t have any issues carrying my 50lbs bag since i expected it but for those who aren’t keen on carrying their luggage....
Overall I loved staying here, I definitely recommend!
