Amazing location steps away from the castle and within walking distance to all the sites in central Edinburgh. The apartment is surprisingly spacious for such a central location. Our family of four had ample room and the second bathroom was a great help with two older kids. The kitchen has all the essentials and there are several small grocery stores about 5-10 min walk away. It was nice to have breakfast from the comfort of our flat and people watch as we sipped our morning coffee. There is some street noise, as to be expected from the location, but nothing too bothersome. Paul graciously texted to let us know that the flat was ready a little earlier than expected, which was a great help when we arrived. If you want to stay in the center of Edinburgh’s vibrant Old Town, it is hard to imagine a better option.
