Very nice residential neighborhood with ample pubs and shops. The flat is outside the crazy Royal Mile mania but still within an easy walk to it.
The flat has all the modern conveniences but still retains the historic charm. I appreciated the well equipped kitchen as I cooked breakfast every morning for us as well as 2 dinners. The house manual clearly explained the operation of all the appliances which are a little different from those in the USA.
If you are there on a Sunday you should go to the Farmers market in the Stockbridge neighborhood just a short walk away. Meet the people that grew or made the food products. Live like a local
We all enjoyed our stay
