Exceptional

Liked: Beautiful unit and fantastic location
Disliked: 5 story walk up for our room, up a circular ancient staircase with heavy luggage! Still, it was worth it. Loved everything else about it.

Lovely old building

Liked: The location was great, we were provided with very detailed instructions and the place was easy to find and close to everything we wanted to visit. By far the best part about the property is its history - I enjoyed reading about the building on a notice that was left on the door, and we felt like we were staying in a castle. Despite the old building, the bathroom was very modern, clean and easy to use. The view outside the window was nice too - it is Edinburgh after all.
Disliked: Because it is an old building there are no elevators. I had requested a room on one of the lower floors as I was traveling with two heavy suitcases but unfortunately I had to carry them up to the fourth floor. This cannot be helped so I don't blame anyone, getting to stay in a building like this was lovely but if you aren't physically fit or have heavy luggage do be aware.
