We very much enjoyed our stay in the apartment. The location on the Royal Mile is very central. The street outside gets crowded; however, inside the apartment it is very quiet and peaceful. Paul was unable to meet us, but provided clear directions to access the keys and get inside. We were prepared for the stairs leading up to the apartment from other reviews. Taking large suitcases up and down is not easy. Once inside though it was worth it. The apartment is clean and hospitable. We liked how the modern amenities are combined with the old stone. Paul left some snacks which we appreciated after traveling. Our family of four had enough space and plenty of hot water. The appliances were new and easy to use. We would definitely recommend this apartment.
