The Scottish Historic Building Trust has done a wonderful job renovating the space while keeping its historic charm. The painted beams are absolutely gorgeous. The pictures do not do this flat justice. It is located just off the center portion of the Royal Mile in a secluded close. Despite being near all the main attractions, no street noise could be heard at night. We appreciated that information was given about the historical significance of the flat and the information that is displayed on the close walls. The apartment was very clean and had modern appliances. The bedroom is incredibly spacious. We really enjoyed our stay here and have recommended it to friends and family back home for when they visit.
