Aileen took very good care of us! Her place was amazing, right at the foot of the castle. You really can see it from windows! The Grassmarket has pubs and bars and restaurants but they weren’t overly loud. Plenty of lovely amenities in apt - milk for our tea (!) was especially appreciated. Very well appointed and comfortable place to stay. And when our plans changed she was very quick to accommodate, graciously.
No hesitation recommending Aileen and her Grassmarket apt. I’d stay again tomorrow if I could!
