Dawn's apartment is incredibly, incredibly well located in Edinburgh. We were two girls travelling and never felt unsafe, day or night, in this neighbourhood. We got to walk everywhere within 20 min. The most we walked was 40 min to get to a destination. But these were always very pleasant walks. If not, there are many buses close by (a 5 min walk to Lothian Road) and we were just 9 min away from the tram and the train (Haymarket station). Since we were travelling and working/studying remotely for a month, we were so glad to be near (less than a 5 min walk) to SO many coffee shops. This being said, be aware that the wifi was unfortunately not strong enough for videoconferences, especially when two are using it. But UK SIM cards are so accessible, this was not even an issue. The apartment was super well equipped for cooking and we were so relieved to have the washer for our clothes! We did have to buy new toiletries (ex. toilet paper) during the month, but it did not bother us that much. Also, the space was way bigger than we expected! (Ps. the bathroom is not as small as some reviews say, it is very reasonable)
This apartment made me fall in love all over again with Edinburgh. I would highly recommend and I would definitely go back in the future!!
