Flat was just as described. Quiet, clean, beautiful decor with all comforts of home. Perfectly located across from castle and easy walking distance to restaurants and stores. Great views, great location.
Overall a great place to stay in Edinburgh. Well appointed and nicely furnished with a comfortable bed. Close to good bars and some solid dining options. Easy access to castle and great views. Would consider staying here again. Front door locks a little tricky and contract parking a little bit further away than expected but otherwise a great stay. Grassmarket area nice with grocery up street and easy access via walking to royal mile, castle and new town areas.
