Good location for exploring Edinburgh. Lots of nice restaurants nearby. Apartment was very nice. Only complaint was the bed which wasn't very comfortable. Mattress could use replacing.

The location is fantastic! The castle view cannot be beat. Everything is within walking distance. Having Tesco next door is beyond convenient. The flat itself was super clean & just perfect for the two of us. Having said that the windows could use a cleaning & other comments about the homeless (only 1 guy) are true but he didn’t bother us & isn’t always around. There is often some litter around the front door but usually cleaned up during the day. None of it bothered us, it’s part of living in a big, old city. I do feel a ceiling fan would be a great addition as the flat did often feel stuffy & for safety I’m sure-the windows only open maybe 2-3”. Would definitely stay there again & I do highly recommend the property.
