The location couldn’t be better and although it doesn’t show it in the pictures the view out of the windows is literally stunning of Tolbooth Kirk right opposite the flat and the cobbled streets of the royal mile either side. Being able to lay in bed with the big windows open looking out at these views with the light sound of bagpipes playing from the street is pretty special. The flat itself is relatively simple (but equipped with all you’d need) and has a slightly unusual layout (which is pretty common in these types of old buildings) but do not let that put you off at all, it’s all about the location. Check in and out was also easy and communication from the host was great, flat was ready for us well before normal check in because we let the host know we were in the city from early.
