Overall we had a great visit. Stayed there with my mother and sister. The flat being close to some main streets (and for example an approx 30 min. walk to the church where lots of the tours begin) you still got a nice impression of a calmer part of Edinburgh. Quiet, close and Restaurants/Supermarkets/public transpotation nearby. For us it was the perfect combination. No trouble with the flat at all and Edinburgh is a wonderful city to visit.
