Wonderful location. The Castle overtop as a view everyday, lovely. Centralized building, easy to walk to all the central sites and events, especially Fringe stuff. Quiet, too, and with a trendy European atmosphere created in an old stone building. We would return in a future trip, for sure. Lynn was marvellous. She met us and explained everything, she made a book that describes everything, great friendly attitude and accessible, but leaves you to your holiday but easy to contact and prompt to reply.

Enjoyed the close proximity to the Haymarket District. Plenty of shops and restaurants. Wonderful cafe just across the street where we had our breakfasts. Hop on hop off busses were here too which we took advantage of. Lynn gave excellent directions to the unit complete with all the codes. Excellent stay. Thanks
