We really enjoyed staying at this flat which is within walking distance of most main attractions in Edinburgh. We were able to walk to several supermarkets to pick up our groceries and it is just blocks from many restaurants and shops. We came during the Fringe and found we were able to walk to all of the venues and did not need to take public transit or taxis at all. We did a lot of walking, though! Overall, we'd highly recommend this flat as a great location for visiting both the old and new sections of Edinburgh.
