We loved the view of the Castle from the flat and the convenient location. The flat is well appointed and a number of goodies were left for our use. We found it challenging to find, not being familiar with the area. When going to the property for the first time look for number 25 Grassmarket, as we couldn't find any signage for Porteous Pend. When entering the gates to 25 Grassmarket the access to the property is on the left with the number 8 on the door. Apart from that and the parking issues, we enjoyed our stay.
