great location for the Festival

This is a lovely flat in a great location within easy walking distance of the Royal Mile (bottom) and with plenty of buses available to get you around to all the venues. We had a lovely few days. The location itself is not picturesque, next to a shopping retail park, although this was convenient for supplies from Sainsbury's. The owner is very thoughtful in leaving the flat ready for us taking into account our two children, though her aim was probably more suited to younger children, I would have been very happy to stay here with younger children and would recommend it for families. If there are any disadvantages they are all related to it being a flat, so: on the top floor, for unloading suitcases, no lift, quite stuffy, though we were not in much so not really a problem, noisy neighbours/educating our bouncy children about the etiquette of living in a flat so maybe we were the noisy neighbours, and very squeaky doors, so we just propped them all open, made going to the loo in the night interesting. These were minor things though which could have been annoying if we had stayed longer but were outwayed by a great stay in a great city.
Owner's Response: To reassure other renters,this apartment is on the 2nd floor not the top floor and a total of 29 steps to climb. No one has complained about the "squeaky" doors before and so we will look at that, however I should point out to future renters that the doors are all fire doors and should not be propped open but closed for your safety.
