Rafaela's place is absolutely gorgeous. I loved staying in such an artistically homey place. The location is excellent as well--we walked from the train station, and could easily walk or take a bus to pretty much anywhere we wanted to go. Six of us were in town for Hogmanay--while some of us went out, our parents opted to stay in and could see the fireworks from the Castle, so they enjoyed themselves too. Since other guests left the morning we arrived, we couldn't check-in early, but Rafaela let us drop our luggage off, showed us around, and gave us pointers, so that was lovely. The flat is up two flights of stairs (not uncommon, Edinburgh is so hilly), but just to be aware if anyone has limited mobility issues. The wifi was also quite slow and unreliable, but other than that we had no complaints. It was a fun place to stay with my family over the holiday!
