The location of the studio was awesome. It's about a 20 minute walk from the main downtown (Royal Mile, Castle, Museums, etc.) and very close to a beautiful, quiet university campus. There are a couple of huge parks with plentiful paths for running, walking, biking or just hanging out in the use expanse of grass. Amanda was a great host. We were welcomed to our new home with tea and cookies and given a thorough tour of the place along with suggested activities to do.
