Very well placed to access most attractions by walking. Spotlessly clean flat with modern decor was a lovely, central base for a few days exploring Edinburgh. Almost opposite the Burke and Hare lap dancing club, but this made for interesting people watching from the window in the evening! There is some noise from the street - mainly traffic with occasional noise from revellers leaving clubs but was not excessive and we both ( two middle aged women) felt perfectly safe walking around the area in the evening.
