Amazing location for a short stay, a little noisy at night but has everything you need for a short stay in Edinburgh.

Great location and nicely furnished. Joivy has their own thorough communication app that details the checkin and checkout process. We would stay here again even if my teenage sons shared the pullout couch. However I will say…It can be loud early in the morning when the pub decides to empty its glass recycling or people decide to talk in the courtyard. Earplugs are provided but also this is what you get for staying on the Royal Mile. The combine washer and dryer unit in the kitchen takes forever to do a load. Recommend hang drying instead. Also suggest that a mirror be mounted in the bedroom so someone else can get ready if the bathroom is in use.

Improvements needed

Comforter stained, too many keys that didn't always work, no door handle upon arrival, communications were poor as they were not timely, or consistent as messages came via vrbo or email not both. Property noisy at night well after and before bar hours.
