We stayed here for the month of August right in the middle of the festival season and the price for a (small) flat in walking distance to most attractions was very good value. It's only a couple of minutes walk to the Grassmarket, 10 mins to the castle & Royal Mile. Ali was very friendly and kept in contact to see how things were going throughout our stay. He even came down to try and help get the washing machine working when it died. The bedroom faces the street so you get noises from the street at night, the strip clubs were actually quiet and all the noise came from cars and people talking as they walked past. But the futon turns into a bed and it's nice and quiet there if you're a light sleeper. We didn't have the TV working while we were there (Ali says he's been chasing people to get it sorted), but the wifi is nice and fast so you can watch Netflix or youtube videos instead.

Overall, it was great value for the middle of the tourist season and being so close to attractions.
