This area of the city has a real buzz and is a joy to explore. This apartment is however in a peaceful location late at night with no nightclubs or noisy pubs. This a great place to stay anytime but a prime location during the Edinburgh Festival/Fringe or at New Year.

Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
If you have submitted a review for a holiday rental property, we may also ask that you provide us with proof of your stay to ensure that your review is attached to the correct rental property.
Holiday rental reviews collected via the VRBO website (formerly Homeaway) and syndicated to the Tripadvisor website are not currently subject to Tripadvisor’s standard moderation processes.
You couldn’t ask for a better location on the Royal Mile. The flat has lots of character with the exposed stone of the old original building but brand new bathrooms and kitchen. The bedrooms were comfortable and quiet and everything you want to see is on your doorstep.

Best Experience
Exceptional location. Edinburgh became the highlight of our (wife, 2 teeenage sone, me) UK holiday. This apartment was a key contributor. The location cannot be beat. I would not consider anything else. Plenty of room. The view and the approach to the apartment are perfect for Edinburough. Great, great memories made on this trip. We highly recommend this property.

Cerca de la estación y en el mismo centro de Edimburgo. Con todas las comodidades necesarias.
Lo más negativo, aparte del precio(todos los alojamientos son caros en la zona)es la falta de persianas y el exceso de luz por la noche que resulta incómodo. Cuándo pondrán persianas en los hoteles y alojamientos en Europa?

Perfect apartment, perfect location, had every thing we needed and much mor.
This was our first time through trip adviser and it won't be our last we are planning another trip to the same apartment in Edinbrugh next year. We received a warm welcome and a low down on we're to go for shops and places to visit. A handy booklet was awaiting with things to do places to go, handy telephone numbers. The apartment was fantastic, immaculate and very stylish. Every thing we needed was to hand and more. The owner was more than a great help.
We were a minuet away from Edinburgh Castle, so much history on our door step.

beautiful apartment but walkup so beware!
this apartment is spectacular. it is a lovely 2 bedroom 2 bath in an ancient building that has been newly renovated and is really quite beautiful. and the location cannot be beat. literally at the top of the royal mile close to the castle. Because this part of the royal mile doesnt have bars it is also quite quiet. HOWEVER, be aware that this is the top apartment, with a walk-up and the stairs are ancient so the stones are worn.

Great apartment and location
Location is terrific, and the flat is spacious, newly refurbished and in mint condition just down the street from Edinburgh Castle. Only downside is that is is a third floor walk up on very old spiral staircase and steps with no railing, so difficult for our 82 year-old mother adn all of our luggage.
