Ann's place is located in the grassmarket area with a beautiful view of the castle. I highly recommend staying here, especially if you're visiting Edinburgh for the first time. Several tourist attractions are within walking distance, and the grassmarket itself has several restaurants, pubs and cafes if you don't feel like venturing too far for a drink/meal after a long day of walking. The kitchen is equipped with anything you'd need to cook at home and there's plenty of towels and bedding. I stayed here while travelling solo and felt completely safe in the area and the apartment. Definitely recommend Ann's place for travelers wanting to get the most out of their time in Edinburgh!
