This place is PERFECT - especially for your first time in Edinburgh. Easy walking distance to all the magical sites, the decor makes you feel so at home in Scotland, and the view is just unbelievable. Read about the Grassmarket area before you go to get you jazzed about its history. (There are a lot of stairs to the apt as well as ALL OVER the city so mobility is a must - plan ahead and don't bring a heavy bag) Slàinte mhath!!
