The apartment is as documented. It is in a perfect location on the Royal Mile, closer to the Palace of Holyroodhouse than the Castle. This places it in a quieter section of the street. It is a short walk from the train station. Many pubs and restaurants in close proximity. There is a Tesco a short walk away for supplies. The apartment is on the second floor (3rd US) , no lift, but easily manageable. Bedding is quite comfortable. Newer appliances. Dishwasher, induction cooktop, stove (but who is going to use that on vacation), instant hot water tap, coffee maker, washer/dryer combo (that worked better than past experiences). I definitely would stay here again when in Edinburgh.
