The 2nd floor courtyard apartment was comfortable, clean, well stocked with all essentials and is located in the smack dab center of everything you want to see and do. And it’s quiet and private. Loved it.Uber rides, when needed, were fast, like 2-3 minute pickups and under 10. Cabs are abundant too.

We had a great stay in this perfect location at the base of Victoria Street, the most photographed street in Edinburgh (so I hear). We spent 10 days there and it felt very comfortable with easy access to Old Town. Would definitely stay here again.
