Carol’s place is ideally located for the tourist attractions in Edinburgh. The castle is just a straight walk up the Royal Mile and most other areas are within walking distance.
We were there during the Fringe so found it a bit noisy at night in the living room and kitchen. However the noise didn’t really reach the bedroom, which is at the back of the building, so it can be avoided.
Carol was also extremely helpful and friendly and made us feel very welcome when we arrived.
