Where do I start? I couldn't have asked for a better location. My wife and I attended the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo and it was literally 30-40 seconds from the castle itself. All of the other main attractions were 7-15 minutes walking distance. The apartment was nice and clean and just the right size for a couple. It has everything you could ask for a short stay in Edinburgh. I highly recommend the Castle Nest for your next stay! John is a great host and quick to respond to any questions. The interior design makes up for the size of apartment. It was a little noisy at the late hours of the night but that's to be expected given the location to a lot of popular bars, restaurants, and attractions. Overall it's a 10 out of 10 for me!! I would happily stay there again!
