For those who haven't been to Edinburgh, the city is made up of hills and stairs everywhere. Before booking this flat, we looked at staying closer to the Royal Mile and the heart of Old Town. We are so glad that we didn't and that we found this quiet modern flat in New Town. We are walkers and we found that we were much better off staying outside of the hustle-bustle and walking to all of the tourist sites. We were originally somewhat afraid that being in New Town would be too far out, but the distances are small, and unless you have a problem walking a half mile, we'd highly recommend NOT staying on the noisy and tourist-jammed Royal Mile. The neighborhood of the flat has lots of good restaurants and bars, a Sainsbury's around the corner if you want to grab a few groceries and eat in, lovely historic Georgian squares and gardens, and we never needed a cab except to go to the airport. The wifi and TV are great, and the sofa is comfortable for collapsing on after a day running around seeing everything. We would definitely book this place again if we come back to Edinburgh.
