Best location in Edinburgh if you want to be near the Castle!!! In fact, the flat is at the bottom of the stairs that lead directly to the entrance. We could not have been any closer. The towels are fluffy, the bed warm and comfortable and plenty of hot water. Everything was perfect! Mary and her daughter were so helpful. Loved this flat and its location. Extra touches of tea, coffee, sugar, milk and even shortbread cookies - yum! Good breakfast at The Hub at the end of the block in the church. Enjoyed the tour of Mary King's Close (purchase tickets in advance as they sell out each day). Should have done the free walking tour. Went to the free Scottish Museum but didn't have enough time to take it all in...so much to see! Dinner at the Elephant House where JK Rowling wrote Harry Potter. Walk to Arthur's Seat...in the rain. We took the train from London and the walk to the flat wasn't bad. If you aren't super mobile, consider taking a taxi from the train station even though it's a short walk, it's uphill with stairs. Took the Airlink bus to the airport. The stop is on Waverly Bridge near the train station. You can buy tickets across the street from the stop. Plan on at least an hour from when you leave the flat to arrival at the airport. Loved Edinburgh, loved Mary's flat!!!
