Loved loved loved this flat high above High Street with views to Edinburgh Waverly and the Scott Monument. The location couldn't be better. Other reviews have covered the stairs, so I won't belabor the point. Just be certain that you are game for taking yourself & your bags up 73 stairs (yes, I counted them). Once you're settled, you're a stone's throw from St. Giles, not far to the Castle or the Palace, and near the train station if you're headed to further reaches of Edinburgh or elsewhere in Scotland. Nice products (shampoo, body wash) in the shower, and we really appreciated the washer/dryer to get some clothes cleaned without quite the time investment. Would definitely look to book again!
