Portobello is a fantastic place to stay. A 20 minute bus ride from the city centre and the place has a life of its own. A fantastic beach, some nice shops, and plenty of great places to eat....plus an amazing tattoo studio called St.Clair’s for those who might want a permanent souvenir! All the amazing sights in Edinburgh are just a short trip away as well. Hannah’s flat is well situated to enjoy both the beach and city centre. Recommend.
