The apartment is in a close, an alley way that leads into a small courtyard off the Royal Mile. It felt very private and quiet. The master bedroom had a gas fireplace!
The only issue was the pull-out couch. We spent about an hour trying to assemble it into a bed and it proved to be hard and uncomfortable. We did communicate this issue to the manager and she said she would pass that on to the Scottish National Trust who owns the property.
The history of this merchant’s home made the stay very memorable. Highly recommended.
