The location was fantastic! On a lovely court with central green area. Very quiet with beautiful historic buildings. And then you are steps to the main street of the Royal Mile near High Street. Tons of shops and restaurants right out your door. An easy walk down to the Palace or up to the castle. You don’t need a car at all.
The apartment was very clean and comfortable. There are two flights of stairs, but we didn’t mind them at all. Without AC we did have the windows open and it was a great temperature. There don’t seem to be screens on any buildings so we did get some flies in. There is a washer that works well, but no dryer. Also did not see a microwave, but there was an oven.
