The location of Allan's place is unbeatable. I love the view from the little seating area in front of the bay window. It felt that I was right in the middle of the action, and yet so very quiet! We traveled with our two young kids, both under the age of 6, and they absolutely loved the place. It's very spacious, with all the needed amenities and all major attractions so close by. The double glazed windows make the room very quiet. And Allan was very welcoming during our checking in process and offered a lot of great suggestions to make our stay comfortable. I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone who is traveling to Edinburgh. The city is magical!
