It's uphill to Royal Mile, and downhill on way back.
Great location close to Holyrood and Arthur's Seat. Quiet part of town, but within easy reach of Old Town, Waverley Station and a little walk to New Town.
Flat has ample amenities if you are there for a longer stay. Host is totally unobtrusive, which is a great help.
A lot of stairs with no lift, so it is honestly listed. Great value for my money.
