Where to stay, by price level
Old Town (Royal Mile / Grassmarket)$$$
Historic, atmospheric, steps from everything, but noisy on weekends and pricier for it
New Town (Stockbridge / Broughton)$$-$$$
Georgian streets, good independent restaurants, quieter, 15 minutes walk to the castle
Leith$$
Former docklands, now the best eating neighbourhood, local feel, 2 miles from Old Town but cheap and honest
