The location of the flat was perfect, only a short walk to the royal mile, and just around the corner from a well socialized square of bars, restaurants and every thing alike.
The view from the balcony to see the side of the castle was incredible and we enjoyed some evenings just sat out and admiring the view.
The flat is situated on a busier road, which did get a little loud on some nights but it was to be expected in the city centre.
The building was secure, and the key in a lockbox with two locks on the door, which is always reassuring in a city you're unfamiliar with.
All in all, my partner had a lovely birthday and we owe a large part of that to the accomodation.
