If Allan's place available book immediately do not miss out by thinking about it. The location is fantastic with secure parking. Excellent food and bars are on your doorstep check out the Forage & Chatter, book early to avoid disappointment the food is superb.
Edinburgh Castle is an easy 20/25 minute walk away. If you need to catch the tram back after wandering down the Royal Mile and Grassmarket it runs close to Allan's place.
You are downtown but in a quiet secluded location. One of the best places we have stayed through AirBnb.
