The location of this flat is fantastic. We are 2 Aussie couples who stayed here for a week & we loved how close it is to central Edinburgh. We didn't even need to do the red hop on hop off bus as we could easily walk to everything. Check in was easy & the flat is in a quiet area. There are good facilities however a tip - there is no clothes dryer. We managed quite effectively by using a folding airer in the lounge next to the heating.
Great food nearby. Our favourites were Prezzo ( restaurant), Patisserie Valerie ( French Bakery ) Brass Monkey ( pub ) just across the road & a pie shop I can't remember the name of. There's a Sainsburys & a Tesco just around the corner, both have a good range of food & an off licence. There are also ATM facilities there as well.
There's tons to do & see closeby, we went to Edinburgh Castle, Mary Kings Close ( loved this ) walked the royal mile, climbed the Scott Monument, plenty of access to shopping & loads of eateries & pubs.
