The apartment is in a fantastic location, closer to the castle than the pictures suggest and in a wonderful building. We overlooked the Royal Mile and many of the other Edinburgh sites. The apartment is spacious with lots of character and lots of unique features. David the host was really helpful in advance providing guidance on travel (given many of the roads were closed due to the Military Tattoo). There were a few issues with water pressure/temperature but this didn't detract at all from the terrific quality of the apartment, the location or our stay.
