The apartment is in a great location: lots of cafes and bars around, and 15 mins walking from the Royal Mile. It's also really lovely and comfortably furnished, the kitchen was huge and the garden is a bonus.
Two points to be aware of: (1) the bathroom is located downstairs, underneath the spiral staircase. The shower/tub is raised up for some reason, which makes showering *very* difficult if you're tall. I'm only 5'5" and couldn't shampoo without my arms hitting the ceiling. If you're taller than me, be prepared to take a bath... (2) the apartment is located directly off the (relatively quiet) street: you open the door directly into the living room. We didn't find it too loud at any point, but know that you'll be hearing and seeing people walk by, and you'll need to keep the door double locked at all times.
