This apartment seems to be 10 minutes walking distance from everything you want to see on your first or second trip to the city, so a really great location. Edinburgh is a lively city, so the down side to a central location is street noise. On Saturday night especially (Sunday was pretty quiet). We used a white noise app, they also have a fan, so if you turn something like that on it drowns out a lot of it. The apartment is nicely decorated, was really clean, and the beds were super comfortable.
