The flat is quite nice, and exceptionally well-located, right off the Royal Mile and about a 10 minute walk from the Waverly train station, and about 20 minutes' walk to my conference venue in the New Town. The four flights up and down, no elevator, represented a bit of exercise for folks who are 60+, but we are not extraordinarily fit and we survived the experience! I'd caution against bringing very heavy or large luggage. That's my *only* caution, though, the location is wonderful, great neighborhood with plenty of places to eat, drink, and - if it's your thing - shop. And Lesley is a very accommodating host, quick to respond to any communications, very helpful with local advice. We had a great time and would not hesitate to book again, and recommend to friends.
