Amazing Location
We were in Edinburgh for my son's graduation from the University. We had been to the city many times but this was by far the best location. It is in the heart of the Royal Mile and easy to get everything this great city has to offer. Also a short walk to the graduation ceremonies. I would highly recommend this place on location alone.

In the heart of Edinburgh
A lovely apartment right on the royal mile. Close to many restaurants and the castle. Really enjoyed our time there. Note: it is on the 3rd floor with a spiral staircase.
