Two friends and I stayed at the Royal Mile Apartment for 4 days and it was our first time using Airbnb. It was a great first experience! Stoil was very helpful and provided very clear and easy to follow instructions on how to find the apartment. He was kind enough to wait when we were running late after our flight and helped us with our bags. The apartment is just as pictured and he included a helpful packet of ideas to do around town. The bedroom is towards the back of the building and a little quieter, if you plan on having someone stay on the sofa couch be aware that it faces the Mile where people wait for taxis after going to a pub. The flat is perfectly located about halfway between Holyrood Palace and Edinburgh castle right on the Royal Mile so you're really within walking distance to all of Old Town. The Wifi was great and the flat even has a couple of hair dryers for which I was thankful. I highly recommend staying here!
