My 2 daughters and I enjoyed our 3 night stay in the Spittal St apt. We found it exactly as described and pictured. Yes, there are 3 floors of spiral staircase to climb and the entry seems a bit dodgy at first, but the apt is very comfortable and clean. The location is very close to the castle and Royal Mile and there are food shops and restaurants all around. The toilet room is small, so if you are tall it will be a squeeze, but nice to have it seperate from the shower when sharing the apt with others. Wifi worked great. We were there over a weekend and people were loud on the street, but the bedrooms are in back and quiet. The only thing we would have liked is a clothes dryer- there is a washing machine. We did a load of laundry, but getting it dry took awhile. We would absolutely stay again.
