"Beside the Castle" came highly recommended through an acquaintance. I am so grateful for the recommendation because this place was amazing! I was close to everything in Edinburgh! One block to the Royal Mile another block to the Edinburgh Castle, and yet nestled away in the quaintest of quiet courtyards. I was staring out the windows day and night unable to believe that I had such a view of the city and the firth. The flat itself is spacious, beautifully furnished and supplied, and has a modern well-equipped (dishwasher and clothes washer/drier) kitchen. It should be noted that the flat is a walk up and not suited for someone with limited mobility.
