This was an awesome location for exploring old town Edinburgh. Right on the Royal Mile, and you can not get much closer to the Castle. The apartment was very cute with tons of character, and great views of the Royal Mile. For US travelers note that the beds are small compared to what we are used to...the full size bed in one bedroom was tight for my wife and I (average size), as were the two twin beds for my teen daughters...but we found this to be pretty typical in Scotland.
