We used the house for our visit to Edinburgh because we didn't want to have to drive into the city, but wanted to be close enough to use the public transportation or taxi. The house is ideally located from many bus stops that will take you into the city in around 30 minutes, and is also only about 10 minutes from the airport by car. There's also a Tesco nearby that's 3 minutes walk from the house. The house was very clean and well kept. My family and I had a really comfortable stay and enjoyed the experience very much. Would highly recommend to anyone planning to visit Edinburgh.
