An excellent location for tourism and social life. Literally a 6 minute walk to the train station, and maybe 8-10 minutes from Edinburgh Castle. Lots of dining and pubs nearby. The neighborhood is pretty bustling in the evenings, especially weekend nights (you will hear locals returning from the pubs very late, but it's not especially bothersome).
The flat is a decent size, with a functional kitchen, good master bedroom, and a living and dining area with sofabed (UK double). The windows look out over the street below. Since this is a top-floor flat without a lift, the only obvious negative is the 4 flights of stairs spiraling up (80 steps!). This is fine if you're fit and not loaded down, but definitely not for the faint of heart.
Our stay was easy and seamless. Lisa communicated early, met us at the flat, and got us going.
We'll be back!
