Great location in the heart of Edinburgh in the Royal mile near the castle. Great views. However, while the place was tidy, there is a prominent musky smell as the place is old. The bathroom is very small with the toilet, tiny sink and shower in a cupboard size room. The windows open for fresh air but that leads to lots of noise, smells of cooking and smokers from the street. There is no a/c. The main bedroom requires one to climb an almost vertical stairway.
