Carol's place is perfectly in the middle of everything - easy walk to Holyrood Palace, a bit steeper walk to Edinburgh Castle - but that also means plenty of street noise. Beds were comfy, kitchen was functional (fridge froze some stuff), and Carol was easy to contact. We bought pepper, so if you stay here you might still have both salt and pepper for your snacking needs. Quite close to a Tesco so you can save money for souvenirs and attractions. Overall a great find as long as you can stand night time pub sounds and morning keg deliveries.
