Incredible location on the Royal Mile in the heart of "Old Town" Edinburgh! Just a short walk from the Castle! We couldn't believe how close we were. However, there is a narrow, winding stone staircase up to the second floor... so getting heavy suitcases up is a challenge. Best to travel light. We could often hear the neighbors and the alley (or closet) is narrow, but they all are! Paul also included great restaurant locations nearby.
