Michael's apartment has one of the best locations for any Airbnb that we have stayed in: right on the High Street section of the Royal Mile, within sight of St Gilles Cathedral and an easy walk to Edinburgh Castle, Waverley Station, and the rest of the sights in central Edinburgh. The apartment is located adjacent to a number of restaurants and cafes. The apartment itself is located in a historic building; this does involve a spiral staircase up to the apartment, which adds to the fun of staying in a neat old building.
