This place was just what we needed for our time in Edinburgh. It had all the essentials, bed was comfortable, and it wasn't loud. The roof window does not have a blind but is shaded by trees. There were eye covers provided for those sensitive to it. The other windows all have blinds and privacy was not a concern. It's a quick walk to nearby locals restaurants and grocery store yet straightforward to drive out of town. We walked to the castle, Royal Mile, and other touristy areas in about 20 minutes. Amanda was accommodating to our schedule. In the event that the place was not available early, she suggested storing luggage at the bus station lockers. Would happily recommend or return.
