The location is fantastic. Only one block off of the Royal Mile - easily the most favorable characteristic of this apartment. We did suffer some early setbacks upon our arrival - the floors and some furniture were not cleaned and the washer/dryer was not operating. However, our host did make genuine and professional efforts to resolve the matters as best as she could. Parking is not available (downtown Edinburgh, after all) but again, Weiling worked with us to help find a safe and suitable location further away at one of her other rental properties.
