It is located in the heart of Haymarket of old town and minutes away from the castle. Multitude of bars and eating joints.
But the place has some basic drawbacks. Let's start with the smallest to the biggest.
1) as another guest has pointed out, the television shown in the picture is not the one installed. It is much smaller.
2) the place isn't kept squeaky clean and the host is not in town to keep an eye on the housekeeper. There is lint on the floor corners, old sock lying underneath the table. The Loo hadn't been flushed at the time of the check-in.
3)it may be located minutes from the castle and the old town but it is located in a secluded dark alley. And me and my parents had a very unpleasant experience. This was while returning home from the Edinburgh military tattoo. The same was reported to the cops and they patrolled the alley on subsequent nights. But the safety concern does exist. I wouldn't recommend it to others until these concerns are addressed. It is not worth the risk of getting mugged or worse.....
