9.4/10 Exceptional! (3 reviews)

The property was in a nice, quiet location and had all the amenities you could need (dishwasher, washer, hairdryer, etc.), but the wifi stopped working midway through the stay. The Royal Mile, and Princes street were all very walkable from the property. If you choose this property, make sure you go to the white door, not the brown door that was shown in the check in instructions.
