This is a nice flat in a very good location and the information provided by Stoil was accurate. The building itself is old and shows its age, although the flat has a brand new kitchen, new wall-to-wall carpet (no hardwood floor as shown in the photos), and a very comfortable mattress. The shower stall is quite compact, however, and its controls were a challenge to use (hint: set the temperature knob before it gets wet). This is Scotland so it shouldn't matter, but this summer's weird heatwave highlighted the lack of air-con and window screens. It's easy walking distance to many of the main tourist sights and there are good cafes and restaurants nearby. There are approximately 50 steps up from the courtyard to the flat (no lift) and the suggested walking route from Waverly Station, up the News Steps, involves 157 steep steps, so take a taxi if you arrive by train, unless you're very fit.
