This flat is located right in the Grassmarket district and extremely close to the castle. It was great to be able to leave the flat and have a breakfast and coffee spot right outside the door. There is also a pick up for the tourist “Hop on Hop Off” bus right outside as well. It was an easy walk to Old Town, the Castle, Royal Mile. I prefer this area over the “new town” area. Any issues we had, the host was fast to respond and correct.
