This place really is in the perfect location for exploring Edinburgh. If you go out the front door, you're in New Town right by Waverley station and if you go out the back door, you're in Old Town, right by the castle. We absolutely loved it! It was comfortable with a good kitchen set up so we were able to mostly have meals in and my mother was really taken with the view from our window. She kept talking about how it felt like we were in a postcard. It is central which also means there's street noise, so if you are a troubled sleeper you may want to have earplugs just to be on the safe side, but we never really had trouble with it. This place fit our needs perfectly!
