If you are seeing attractions in Old Town, this is an extremely convenient flat. The location enabled us to see lots of things in a shorter amount of time. This is very convenient to the Royal Mile, the castle, Holyrood Palace, Victoria street and about a 15 min walk to Princes St and a tram stop. Pros:1. Very convenient to the sights in Old Town2. Plenty of room for a family, 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths.3. Washer/Dryer combo. Worked well for us4. Property owner/manager was easy to contact and responsiveCons (overall minor):1. The royal mile is loud on Saturday nights. Weeknights we were able to drown out the noise easily by closing the inside shutters, but Saturday expect ruckus until the wee hours of the morning and much louder than during the week.2. Tight stairs - This wasn't an issue for us and shouldn't be for most able-bodied individuals, but if you have trouble getting up stairs, or have to carry several heavy items, the narrow circular stairs could be a challenge. There is no lift if you were to need one. 3. Maybe a little more plain than in the pictures. The vinyl flooring and carpet could use a little work, but it was very clean and tidy.
