The good: except for having to climb a long flight of stairs, the location is absolutely amazing on the Royal mile, midway between the Castle and Holyrood House with many interesting shops and restaurants all around. The flat was very clean and comfortable. Having a washing machine was very convenient. The bad: there is a plumbing problem stemming from 1850 plumbing that is sometimes noisy but wasn't ever an actual issue. I've suggested remediation to the owner so it will hopefully improve.
