Sarah was a great host very accomodating and helpful. This was her home so the flat was homely and lived in it had everything we needed. There were plenty of buses but we really enjoyed the walk into the city centre and home each day along Leith walk with plenty of places to stop for a coffee. We were very lucky with the weather. Considering this was was a large block of flats it was extremely quiet we really did not hear anything from the neighbours . It was easy to find a parking space on the street outside the flat. The fringe was on so Edingburgh was very busy but what a fantastic city. We enjoyed the sightseeing bus tour ( I suggest the one with a tour guide rather than a recording ) Edingburgh castle is definitely worth a visit
