Great location for exploring the city or just to access the awesome restaurants, bars and shops on grassmarket or near the royal mile. Host was great with communication, especially when we had a little issue with the sink which she addressed very quickly. The apartment itself wasn’t quite what I expected from the photos, but had everything we needed. It is part of a gated complex with a bunch of flats (and an awesome view of the castle!). You could hear neighbors at times but not too loud.
