Stayed at Carol’s cute flat in the Royal Mile to visit my daughter studying at the University. Couldn’t be happier with the location conveniently close to so many things we wanted to see. A Tesco grocery was a few minutes walk for snacks, wine, etc. A coffee shop and a great place for fish and chips are both underneath. Starbucks just down the street if you must. A bit noisy at times with street noise but didn’t keep us up after long days walking all over Edinburgh.
