“Settled within a lively courtyard just off the Royal Mile, this apartment feels both central and surprisingly serene. The renovation is thoughtful, maintaining coziness alongside practical touches, and the comfortable bed and shower are definite highlights. It's a charming base for soaking in the city's atmosphere, though the winding stairs certainly demand a moment's consideration.”
