If you want to be at the heart of it all in Edinburgh at the busiest time and within a short walk to the Military tatoo at the castle then this is your place. You can look down on lawnmarket to performers and thousands of people. Location is a 5 but you’ll also hear the drunks empty the bars at 2AM. Well known bar 2 doors down. Had a problem at check in. I requested a slightly early entry and was informed it was ready. I open code to the key lock and no key! I slightly panicked thinking someone on the street may have gotten the code and was in the appt. At same time a renter or owner entered and I followed him up. I knocked on the appt door and the man cleaning it came to door and said he was done. He gave me a key that was to be in the lock. He also was not really completed as he had not swept the main rug or floor in the main room. The bathroom and bedrooms were clean. I told Derek what had happened and he apologized for the mix up but I was about 20 min early to the check in time so I wrote off the mix up and we enjoyed our stay. Derek was kind and on top of all communication Given the prime time of our visit I felt the cost was higher than I would normally pay. Oh.. one more think. Don’t waste your money at The Witchery just a block away close to castle. Took my wife there for her birthday. Waste of money. Highly overrated and way too pricey. Had to send a filet back and the table service by our waitress was the worst. She went on a half hour break in the
