We (family with two daughters, 12 and 9 years old) had - unfortunately - a too short stay of two nights (actually one day) in Julie's lovely cottage.
The near surrounding of Carlton Terrace does not feel as you would live in a capital and so close to all tourist attractions, restaurants and shops of Edinburgh. It is a quiet and green area close to the Calton Hill and Holyroodhouse. From here you can easily explore one of the most interesting cities in Europe by walking.
The cottage itself has everything you need for a self-catering holiday. The kitchen is newly furnished, next to the cosy living room. Both are in the first floor from where you can see the garden.
Julie is a very friendly host who is really looking after her guests. Beside the very good communication prior to our arrival I would like to highlight that she perfectly managed to fix immediately a small issue in the house we were facing right after our arrival - although she was that day not in Edinburgh. Even though we just stayed for two nights she visited us personally just to see if everything is ok! Very nice!
Thank you, Julie!
