Fantastic location! Just off the mile. Close to the train and all the sightseeing. If you come via Waverley with awkward bags, take South Bridge (past the Scotsman hotel, turn right on the Royal Mile), not Cockburn street (Cockburn street is steep!). Beds: comfy, clean, with what felt like new pillows and a thick duvet. Bathroom: lots of hot water, good water pressure, shampoo/conditioner/soap/bath soak, lots of clean towels. Kitchen: all the basics (kettle, toaster, French press, basic pots and pans, dishes, paper towels, And a nice surprise of tea bags, instant coffee, sugar and little milks. Laundry is in the kitchen to the right of the sink, tucked in what looks like a cupboard. It washes and dries in the same machine. If you’re not used to that, make sure you leave plenty of time for the cycle, it’s slower than the US. Towels need 100’ (minutes) to dry. Sparkling clean, elevator up (so worth it, as you’ll be climbing a gajillion stairs exploring the neighborhood!). At 2am you do hear a few rowdy groups pass through as the bars close, but that’s just part of experiencing the neighborhood. They pass other streets too. They’re happy young adults out having fun and I enjoyed when I did hear them. We will definitely book Anne’s place again on our next trip. It was everything we needed and a perfect home base.
