Gill's apartment on the Royal Mile is probably more than you could hope for. It is about a 10 minute walk to the central train station and the bus stop from the airport. It is nestled towards the end of the Royal Mile near the Canongate and Balmoral Palace. Very very clean, uncluttered and comfortable. There are mirrors and hair dryers in both bedrooms, plenty of closets, a lovely and functional kitchen with more accessories than I have at home. (we made and ate breakfast, some lunches and dinners easily). The apartment has great views - Carlton Hill and University of Edinburgh Canongate. Small grocery shops all around although we walked to the fancy Waitrose in Stockbridge. When you walk out the door and go right, you are walking towards the Castle, left to the Palace and straight through Canongate to Arthur's Seat, I would note that this is a walk-up so you can eat that extra scone it you go in and out multiple times a day. It is a wonder place to make yourself at home in Edinburgh. Gill has set a high standard for my future Airbnb stays.
