It was lovely

Pros: Overall comfort and proximity to everything
Cons: When booking a reference to lack of parking would be handy
Location: About a 2 minute walk to the Royal Mile where there are numerous shops and all the tour buses are on that route.
Great spot. Close to the Royal Mile, free walking tours and hop on hop off buses. Only downside was difficulty in finding parking nearby.
