Absolutely killer view! The flat was very small, but had everything my wife and I needed. Free cookies are always a bonus! Surprisingly quiet too. We could not be closer to the castle, which was a tremendous place to visit. Also a great place to start the Royal Mile walk. Once out the door and onto the steps, make a left and there are just more great little spots to visit (Cemetery and other places JK Rowling was inspired by) . The nighttime ghost walking tour (I'm not into ghost tours) was wonderful and full of relevant historical information, so I highly recommend it for this stay...also, it was only a few minutes walk from this flat. we were only there two days and we didn't even get off the hill because there were just so many places near here that brought smiles to our lives.
