This flat was in the perfect location, close enough to the action, but a little less crowded and loud than the Royal Mile and Lawnmarket. Even with all the windows open during the heatwave, it wasn't noisy. It was well equipped for what we needed and comfortable. It is on the 4th floor, so lots of stairs... but there are stairs everywhere in the old town, so that's not unique to this flat. And a great view of the castle! Barry was a great host and easy to work with, too. Would definitely come back again!
