Great location! The view of the castle from the flat is as advertised. It is also very close to a large car park for easy parking, and right beside Grassmarket which has a strip pubs and restaurants. The flat is well kept. Be aware of are the noise that accompanies the location. It is noisey at night being so close to Old Town/Grassmarket, just apart of the territory. The shower water pressure is low and shower temperature control is finicky. If you exerperience a heatwave like I did, the flat can get quite hot. There aren't any fans. Overall the pros significantly out weigh the cons.
