The flat is very much as advertised. It is very clean, modern, well located, and comfortable. The water temperature and pressure is good, the beds are comfortable, and the internet is fast. I will note, however, that you will not see the castle from the apartment itself. The apartment is tucked down a lane behind a stone wall between it and the castle view. Yet, to see the castle (especially beautiful from the nearby shopping/dining area "Grassmarket," you need only walk about 20 seconds to the corner. The apartment is quiet, private, and comfortable. I would certainly recommend it to anyone wanting an authentic Edinburgh Old Town experience.
