My boyfriend and I have spent 3 days in the Di Placido place and we were really impressed of the building (hight ceilings, large, spacy rooms), and of the flat (wooden floors and old-fashioned doors, awesome kitchen, all italian spirit in the air :). Host's are super friendly and polite, feel free to ask any advise on sightseeing or anything. We were provided with everything we need. Breakfast that was included into booking price was perfect. Leo was friendly to us, really nice cat :)

The location is good: 40 minutes by walk exploring highstreet of Edinburgh all the way to Arthur's Seat (a stunning walk to the top of the ex. volcano located right in the city centre), city centre can be also easily achieved by bus 35 or 22 which stops in 5 mins walking distance from flat. We also had really nice walk from the front door of our accommodation among Leigh canal all the way to the Botanic Gardens.
