It was amazing to stay in such an old building right on the Royal Mile! Location was everything! The quality of furnishings was outstanding and very comfortable. Lots of poetic touches. And the heating was cosy - important for visiting Australians! We had a wonderful time. The spiral stone staircase is not for the faint hearted. Good exercise if you’re up for it. The apartment is on the top floor.
The three apartments below are set up like a museum with open times for visiting. The guides are very knowledgeable and helpful and the spaces are accurately furnished for different time periods. It was so interesting to have this extra peek into Edinburghs past.
The exterior stair case up to the front door is not marked with a number which made finding the apartment tricky. I’d suggest putting up a Struthers Apartment sign or at least a number.
