The flat is perfectly located in and overlooking the Royal Mile. Access from the Waverly train station was very easy. Be ready to climb outside concrete stairs that could be slippery if it has rained. The flat was very clean and well-appointed, but also quite worn with frayed carpeting in places, chipped paint on door frames, and bureau drawers that jammed. Overall, for the location, it was a great value and the shortcomings were minor in comparison.
