Summary: We absolutely loved this flat! From one side we looked over The Royal Mile. From the other side we had a view of the Writer's Museum and Makar's Court. It was centrally located to everything we wanted to do. The buses are easy to use, but we didn't even need them this trip! We could hear the bagpipers and tourists (and seagulls!) with the windows open, which we enjoyed... but closing them drowned out the noise nicely, too. Excellent stay!
