An excellent location for commuting a short distance into the city centre. Bus travel is very easy and runs at all hours. The immediate area is pleasant, but the main attraction of this location is ease of access to Old Edinburgh. The kitchen is small. Two people in it at the same time are crowded. But, it is functional and well stocked. We had no real issue with it, but visitors should expect a small space. The rest of the flat is roomy and comfortable. The walk up to the second floor was no problem for us, but could be difficult for some. The main building is a bit dated, but the access if easy and very secure. It was also a definite plus to have free parking available just outside the door and a large Sainsbury's around the corner. All in all, a good spot that we would recommend for two. Our two grown daughters also stayed one night on the sofa bed, which was comfortable. It was crowded with four grown people, but OK for a short period.
