This is a really nice place in a great neighborhood if you are looking to stay out of the tourist drag. Stockbridge is laid back and the local shops and pubs were great. It does get quiet after dark and is a bit if a walk from the sights, but we never felt unsafe. There is also a convenient grocery and cafes nearby. We would definitely recommend this place for travelers looking to live like a local and experience a neighborhood in Edinburgh. We recommend a walk along the Water of Leigh and the Botanical gardens.
