Malcolm and Carol's apartment next to the sea was extremely comfortable, well equipped - and much roomier than exoected - for our short stay in Portobello. And what a great location as a base from which to sightsee Edinburgh. The views over to Kirkcaldy from the living room are stunning and extensive, with so much light even on a bad weather day entering the room from being right on top of the sands. I'd seriously consider popping downstairs for breakfast or brunch at the Beach House Cafe below and checking out the Espy across the road on Bath Street for a surprisingly better than good evening meal. Many thanks to Carol too for her help in settling us in and pointing us in the right direction with her knowledge of the city. We'd love to come back.
