This apartment is in a great location and neighborhood. We loved staying in the Grassmarket with easy access to the castle and the Royal Mile (via very colorful Victoria St), the airport tram stops at West End or Princes St (highly recommend the airport tram), and near bus stops for places farther afield like Leith for the Royal Yacht Britannia (catch the #35 at the National Museum of Scotland nearby). The apartment was simple and spotless, bed comfortable, and quiet at night since the apartment is at the rear of the apartment building, not facing busy Grassmarket itself. It is up two floors of stairs for anyone who might be concerned about accessibility or heavy luggage. Communication with the host was great. WiFi worked well. There is even a washer and drying rack in case you need to do laundry. There are many restaurants and pubs in the Grassmarket and nearby streets. Made in Italy had great pizza and pasta carbonara approved by our six-year old. The Coffee Mill just west of the Grassmarket had great breakfasts. We enjoyed returning to the apartment at the end of each day to relax. Given how expensive lodging is in this town, this is a great value.
