If you want to see key Edinburgh locations - this is perfect place to stay.
- Old Town & Calton Hill just around 20mins away (by foot)
- Lots of shops, convenience stores, big Tesco not too far away
- Lots of restaurants/takeaways (chippys, Italian, Thai, almost everything you want)
- Street was being rebuilt during my stay but still many buses were available nearby
- tip: go to Princess Street, take bus 4 to Hill End and you have wonderful hiking at Pentland Hills (wonderful views included)
