Location, location, location! Family of 4, (2 young boys) just got back from a week's stay in Edinburgh during the Fringe Festival. The flat's location is perfect for all the sights, restaurants, pubs, shopping etc. Literally a few mins walk from everything. Many tours start down the road. This city was absolutely buzzing with street performers & lots of visitors. Every evening we could hear the Military Tattoo end, they would continue playing & marching just up the road. That was pretty awesome!
The flat has a good well equipped kitchen. Probably the best feature apart from the location.
I would highly recommend this place for it's location on the Royal Mile. However I would also hesitate to recommend it as the sleeping situation really needs to be improved, proper bed linen that actually covers the (stained mattress), better pillows. Sofa bed very uncomfortable (we put the mattress on the floor). We complained about some of these issues & Victoria who responded was great, very polite & swift to react. She arranged for a new top mattress & 2 new pillows to be sent to us.
Edinburgh is an amazing city to see with kids!
