This is a superb little apartment in a very quiet location yet right at the heart of Edinburgh's old town. Communication from the owner was excellent and responsive throughout even though we never met him face to face, as entry is by a key safe. This suited us well as it allowed some flexibility in our arrival and departure time. The general area around the apartment is fascinating - the history of Tron Square is worth looking up. You approach the first floor apartment down a traditional Edinburgh 'close', which adds a great air of mystery but it's probably helpful to be aware that it's a bit steep. Despite this access to the apartment is virtually step free as long as you approach from the Royal Mile following Alan's excellent directions. There are some useful shops for provisions around the corner on South Bridge - go via the Royal Mile rather than Cowgate. Highly recommended and an apartment I'd certainly be delighted to use again on another visit to Edinburgh.
