You truly cannot find a better location on the Royal Mile. The view of St Giles Cathedral is spectacular! A couple of things to note: if you have a car, find a nearby car park—do not bother trying to park in front of the property. Street parking is very, very expensive, and you have to pay in increments (due every 3 hours). Next, don’t underestimate the flights of stairs to get to the flat. It was a haul! But absolutely worth it for that view! Lastly, and I hesitate to even mention this, because the flat is truly unique and well appointed and I don’t want to be disparaging in any way! However, as it’s an older property with (exquisitely maintained) antique furnishing, it was rather dusty/musty. This was NOT a cleanliness issue. The flat was very well cleaned. This is a common problem with older properties. (Anyone with asthma or a dust allergy will empathize.) It was bad enough that I had to take Benadryl and sleep with the window wide open, and I even had to get a prescription for an inhaler in order to spend prolonged periods in the flat. Again, that’s just something to be aware of if you have allergies or asthma! (An air purifier might be a good investment for the upstairs bedroom that would solve the problem!) Overall, it was a fantastic property, and we would stay there again!
