Our location was perfect for several reasons. Located at the bottom of the Royal Mile, one can walk in any direction and hit all the must see sites. The flat has all the mod cons for comfort and is loaded with charm. Our mornings started with the sound of the bagpipes ringing the air from the players in their full kilt regalia practicing for their performance, right across the street. In spite of the flat being located on a very busy intersection, with the tour buses picking up tourists all day long, it was surprisingly peaceful and quiet at night. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and heartily recommend it as a perfect place to come home to after a busy day of exploring Edinburgh.
