The apartment is located in Old Town, Edinburgh and is close to most of the tourist sites, especially if you are interested in the town's culture. While the exterior does look a little old fashioned and eerie, the place is extremely safe and the interiors are comfy. The railway station is only a 5-10 minute walk away. The only slight drawback maybe the lack of dining options, since most restaurants are located in New Town, but that is a 15 minute walk from the apartment. Caroline was also quick in her communication and access to the apartment was pretty simple and efficient.
