We loved our stay here in this cool apartment. Host was amazing and very reachable. The place has character, a back yard, comfy bed, large kitchen and separate living room with a couch that become a big bed. It's near a convenience store that has lots of stuff and great hours. It's also near major bus lines so basically you just need 1.70 pounds sterling anytime you want to go into the city, which is a pleasant ride and only takes maybe 20 minutes or less. We never did the walk all the way into the city, but it looked lovely as well. They also have Uber, which is convenient if you don't feel like taking a bus. But the buses are nice and not overcrowded at all. The city itself is gorgeous, once you get into downtown Edinburgh, in my opinion, it's almost breathtaking. But even this quaint local neighborhood is super nice, safe, and blissfully quiet. A great choice!! Top notch and 5 stars from me!!
