I came for the Edinburgh Festival and Fringe. Being on the Royal Mile but not in the densest part of the venues and street theater was great. The double-glazed windows did help keep the noise down. Dharma is a friendly and helpful host. I especially appreciated her help getting my suitcase up the 2 twisty flights of concrete stairs. The place is beautifully decorated with art prints and the dining area overlooks a quiet alley with a couple of trees. Having my laundry done was a big plus.
