Location, location, location! Everything you'd want to see is within walking distance. My first impression when walking in was that I was at home. Very cosy feeling. Especially loved the view of the castle from the lovely couch. Stunning. Kitchen was a bit shabby, but has everything you could need so it didn't matter. As it is in Grassmarket, it can get rowdy at night, just outside your windows, until about 3am. This didn't bother me too much (I was too exhausted from sightseeing), but be aware of it. Malcolm was very nice and was quick to respond to any queries. Highly recommended for your visit to Edinburgh!
