Great place! It really is right in the middle of everything you could want to see in Edinburgh. The host was amazing and super accommodating. Would definitely recommend. If you leave your windows open at night, it can get a little loud, but that's to be expected in the most central location in the city. We have two tween kids and, had we opted for a hotel, would have had to pay twice as much for less space and a slightly worse location. All the walking tours tend to start around Mercat Cross, which is a 2 minute walk from the apartment. Could not be happier with the experience.
