The location is great for shopping, sightseeing, nightlife and restaurants. There is no view but it is a lovely quiet street which ensures you get peace to recharge your batteries. We asked for a front facing room onto Young St. Check in and service was without hassle. It is a very safe area. You are 2 minutes from a great view of the Castle, turn right as you go out the main door and right again.
The apartment itself is excellent. The decor and facilities are outstanding and very comfortable. The bed was huge and gave a good nights sleep, the shower was top notch. There is also a bath if you fancy relaxing after a hard day seeing the sights. There is a full working kitchen where you could quite easily cook, dish wash and do your washing and ironing! If you felt the need. They provide the dishwasher tablets as well as teabags, coffee, milk etc. It is only a 5 minute walk to a small supermarket where you can buy everything you may need. Young St runs parallel with George St where the nightlife, restaurants and shopping are all a notch above Princes St.
Browns on George St just around the corner does a super breakfast and any other meal of the day. All of the buses run along George St which is a 2 minute walk and from there the rest of Edinburgh is just a bus ride away. £1.30 per trip.
All in all it has everything you need plus extras. I would have no hesitation in recommending it to anyone.
