This is the perfect place to stay if you want to be close to the city without all of the "hustle and bustle"! It was so quiet and in an amazing location: it only took us 20-30 minutes to walk to the Royal Mile and tons of cool restaurants and shops. Philip was also a great host and quick to respond to all of my questions. Parking was a little tricky as the free parking near the flat is on a small street adjacent to where you will stay, but got lucky and snagged a spot as someone was leaving (Philip was also really helpful in finding us some alternative places to park if one of those spots didn't open up). Overall, I HIGHLY recommend this place to any traveler wanting to be close to the city!
