Steven's apartment is an excellent base for touring Edinburgh. This was our second stay in his apartment. We returned to his apartment because of how well located and well supplied it is and how easy it is to work with Steven. All of the major sites within walking distance of the Royal Mile are easy to visit from the apartment. Even Princes Street and New Town are just down the hill. The tram to/from the airport is a short walk and there are bus stops on the streets just in front of the apartment. Be aware that you do need to get your luggage and up and down the stairs as the apartment is on the 3rd floor. But that means it has outstanding views through the front and back windows. There is a nice entrance hallway at street level, which makes it easy to take the luggage up several times and bring it down when leaving. This is an outstanding property!
