What a great location for a first trip to Edinburgh. High above the best part of the Royal Mile, between St Giles and the Castle. Lots of fun hustle-bustle and short walks to all the best tourist sites in the city. The windows open onto beautiful and exciting views of the most historic section of the Old Town. The apartment itself was newly renovated when we stayed and we were lucky enough to be the first guests after the update. Everything is spectacularly well done. New amenities and appliances, brand new carpet and wallpaper. The bathrooms are amazing. Some of the best on our trip. Would definitely recommend this flat for anyone looking for a fun and exciting place to stay in Edinburgh.
