## The space The flat is one of the oldest buildings in Edinburgh, located off the Royal Mile, just down from the Castle. The Close it is located on dates back to the 12th Century and links the Royal Mile to the Cowgate. This is the ultimate location to explore Edinburgh from. If you are interested in the flats history, there is more information in a booklet at the property. Despite it's age, the flat itself has been beautifully modernised. However, every effort has been made to maintain the historical feel and maintain many of the period features. The main feature being the 400 year old wall that remains exposed in the kitchen/living room. The kitchen itself is very well equipped, with all the standard appliances you would expect, as well as enough crockery, cutlery and cooking utensils should you wish to cook during your stay. There is also a coffee machine for your use. Coffee, tea and milk capsules are all provided for you. The open plan room also has a comfortable sofa which can act as a sofa bed for an additional two guests should you wish (please note, blinds have been recently installed in this room).

## The neighborhood The Royal Mile runs through the heart of Edinburgh’s Old Town, connecting the magnificent Edinburgh Castle, perched high on a base of volcanic rock, with the splendorous Palace of Holyroodhouse, resting in the shadow of Arthur's Seat. The Mile is overlooked by impressive, towering tenements, between which cobbled closes and narrow stairways interlock to create a secret underground world. Peppered with superb attractions such as The Real Mary King’s Close or the Scottish Storytelling Centre, historical sites including St Giles' Cathedral and some of the best eating and drinking spots in the city, the Royal Mile offers much to see and do. For a glimpse of recent history, be sure to visit the ultra-modern Scottish Parliament, a striking building boasting a cutting-edge design. ## Getting around The property is fantastically located to walk everywhere! Should you wish to go further afield there are taxis aplenty. If taking transport, the flat is a short walk (up the hill towards to the Castle) from either Waverley Station or the final Airlink 100 stop (airport bus).
