Zoe went above and beyond to prepare her cozy cottage for our family reunion, even set up a beautiful Christmas tree. The neighbourhood is full of little shops, a great bakery, mini supermarkets, restaurants and also within easy walking distance of Pollack Halls, Edinburgh University, the main tourists sights and Arthur's Seat. Great bus service within a minute's walk. Although we didn't bring small kids, the gated area is a perfect place for kids to play (we enjoyed seeing the local kids playing with their Christmas presents). The location is very convenient, has off street parking and secluded.
