You are paying for the location which is amazing - right in the middle of the Royal Mile so very exciting to be in the hustle and bustle, but also very noisy; pack ear plugs for sure, it felt like the festival was in our room!
The flat is much smaller than the photos make it appear, it’s more of a bedsit really, although the kitchen has a door and a private small shower room makes it feel more flat-like. For one or two people for a long weekend it was fine.
It’s quite basic but has everything you need, kitchenware provided for self catering and everything inside the flat was clean and tidy. The shared building hallway/stairwell was really grubby, although it didn’t affect the stay it’s not the best first impression.
Take towels, the photos led me to believe they would be provided but only hand towels were left on the bed (my fault for not checking). It was very hot in August and way too noisy to leave the windows open, a fan would help in the summer months.
Overall, we enjoyed our visit to Edinburgh and this accommodation was fine.
