This was a LOVELY property and perfectly located. Just a short walk from many tasty restaurants (try Petit Paris on Grassmarket), the castle, Victoria Street, Royal Mile, etc. Be aware there will be stairs to climb from the street up to the castle and Royal Mile, but this would happen anywhere in the hilly city. Communication with the host--specifically regarding questions and issues with payment--was a bit spotty. The biggest negative was the distance between the property and the "keynest store" where we had to pick up the keys (about a mile walk, one way). Also, since our flight arrived early in the day, we had to store our luggage elsewhere, and the closest spot required us to take our luggage down steep flights. We found out that we MIGHT have been able to store luggage at the keynest store, but they couldn't have guaranteed it ahead of time, so finding another place was a must for us. Overall, it was a great spot.
