This a great place to stay in Edinburgh and although up a few steps they were not an issue. The hosts were excellent and great help from the moment I booked to the moment I checked out. We walked around Edinburgh and found that nowhere was ever too far from our accommodation so it was handy for popping back and dropping stuff off if we started to carry too much. The hills of Edinburgh were a bit of a struggle at times but we managed and if you want to avoid the hills, the tourist buses stop right outside. Camera Obscura and the Castle are right outside as well. Despite the road being cobbles outside, you do not really hear it. The beds and furniture were extremely comfy and the place was spotless. The kitchen had everything we needed as well. An excellent base in an excellent place sums it up.
