    Lots of fun things to see and do and just a nice place to hang out. Loads of lunch spots; we would recommend the Whiskey and Haggis arcade and suggest try the Robert Burns Famous Haggis with whiskey sauce; one portion is enough for 2 people.

    The real St Mary's Close.

    The real St Mary's Close. Amazing "Museum" which is actually a series of uncovered streets that were originally built beneath the current road, below the town. When the plague hit, the poor were entombed there. The history of it was mind-boggling. A must to see. The Mile itself just great to walk, stop, sip a drink or two. The Dome restaurant and Bars wonderous at Xmas. Fantastic array of external and internal Christmas lights, trees.

    Loved walking up and down the Royal Mile, it was the Fringe Festival while were there, it was a hive of activity and street performers were dotted along the mile. There are also some interesting shops selling souvenirs, if that's your thing

    DON'T go in peak season! The historical interest is completely obfuscated by the crowds and tacky souvenir shops. Taking a walking tour with Mercat tours at least gives one interesting historical information

    Hopefully you'll get a chance to walk the entire length.

    Hopefully you'll get a chance to walk the entire length. Always a bustling area with lots of interesting things to do and see. Too much to list here. Check online. the Whisky adventure is a must for those who like a tipple, Camera Obscura at the castle end. Holyrood Palace and park at the other. Book the top end restaurants well in advance of your visit.

    Great location on the Royal Mile in Edinburgh. Easy walking distance from Edinburgh Waverley Station. Lift/elevator to room. Modern studio apartment with kitchen facilities and dining area. Bathroom was very good. Lots of restaurants and pubs nearby. Supermarket within walking distance. Breakfast was available in the main area of the apartments if needed, but we preferred to eat in our apartment.

    The apartment has everything we need - for cooking, toiletries, bedding etc It was very clean and enough heating in the house. The location is so convenient, with walking distance bus-stops going everywhere. It's a walk to Carlton Hill and Holyroohouse Palace, Arthur Seat, and a few bus stops to Royal Miles. Really love the location of the apartment.
