Location! Location! Location! The flat is right below the castle, so getting to the Royal Edinburgh Tattoo was a piece of cake. There was less than a five minute walk to some great pubs and restaurants. There was a French fusion food truck parked right around the corner that we fell in love with. The flat is in the old town and is real close to many of the historic venues. However, if the you're interested in what the new town has to offer, it is a very short cab ride away or about 15 minutes if you're up for a walk.
The flat is small, but cozy, and had everything we needed for a four day stay. The queen bed (American) was comfortable and my daughter loved the pull out bed that was available. The bathroom is small, but big enough that you didn't feel cramped. Everything in the flat was in great working condition and instructions, as was with all of the communication with the host, were perfect.
