Lovely spot, overlooking The Royal Mile from two living room windows. Quick and precise communication, also by signs in the apartment. Very well equipped. Good beds, sheets and towels. We (2 couples) loved it.

Great 2 bedroom apartment with plenty of space to relax overlooking High Street activity. Very well maintained, easy to communicate with the owner (thank you Shahid), and quiet. Building is quite old but the history of the building is interesting, as indicated by the plaque outside the apartment. Very easy to access all areas of Edinburgh and close to all major attractions, restaurants and shops. Spiral staircase up 2 floors to get to the apartment, which made it all the more interesting. Highly recommend. Would return here on our next visit.
