The flat is located on the south side with views of Holyrood. We liked being away from the Royal Mile but it was only a 10-15 minute walk to the city Centre. There were plenty of pubs, local eateries and grocery stores nearby. We ate at the restaurant downstairs, Blonde, which was very nice. We arrived a bit later and the keys were left at a local pub. Very easy checkin and out. While we did take a taxi to the flat, you could walk from Waverly Station. And we took the number 14 bus back to the station. The flat was well equipped and was great for my sister and I. Would highly recommend and would stay again.
