Wendy’s flat is located on the Royal mile. It is surprisingly quiet considering the incredible amount of noise and pedestrian traffic that happens just outside the courtyard. There are double windows to make sure that the apartment is virtually silent. It is spacious, really cutely decorated and extremely comfortable. The bed was wonderful and the towels were fluffy. The royal mile is right in the center of everything and an easy walk to almost any point in Edinburgh, old town or new town. There are a few flights of stairs to climb, a couple outside and one inside, so this is not for someone who is handicapped or has difficulty with stairs. But apart from that, this is a great choice. The check in was easy and Wendy was lovely. Her guide to restaurants in the area was also very useful.
