I stayed here for a month, just after I finished my masters degree. Mairi and her family were very kind and helped me not feel as lost in that time of my life. The place is in a really nice area, close to Craigmillar and to the Water of Leith and I'd recommend to go take a walk there. While you have to take a bus to get to city center (or go along the Union Canal, another nice walk), there's enough of them to get anywhere you want in 15-ish minutes or so. I would definitely recommend this place!
