It is in a really great location with shops all around and only a couple minute walk to popular attractions in all directions. Only issues were the beautiful church in front was under construction (nothing the owners can do about that) and I wouldn’t call the second bathroom a half bath more like a toilet closet. ##### Mikayla M. Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Don H. Sep 1, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Edinburgh Location location location. If you are looking to stay in the heart of Edinburgh this is the place. You are a staircase away from the Royal mile, and steps away from Edinburgh Castle, Victoria street and a list of other sites. Too many witching walking distance to list. The flat was very cozy and well furnished. The only thing that wasn’t provided were wash clothes. We had six adults in our group and we were all very comfortable and happy with the accommodations. Keep in mind this isn’t a five star hotel but for a large group that rents houses frequently we would definitely recommend. ##### Don H. Stayed 6 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Scott B.
