Summary: The location was amazing. You are right in the heart of old town and on the royal mile. We were there for Hogmanay and the parade came right past the apartment and for new years we walked up about 200 yards to the castle and watched the fireworks. The owners were great and helpful to store bags when we arrived into town early. The place was perfect for our group of 8 and had everything we needed. Would definitely come back and stay!!!
