We stayed at Claire’s for 4 months while waiting on the keys to our new house. We lived in Leith previously, so already knew the area but the flat is a great location for the shore with lots of bars and cafe’s. You can also get a number of buses into town, or walk which would take you about 20-30 minutes.
The flat is great, with everything you need. The neighbourhood is quiet and no issues with parking. The upstairs neighbour can be noisey and heavy footed (not music or shouting, just living noise) but we lived and worked from the flat. If you’re just visiting and out everyday, it wouldn’t be an issue.
Claire’s communication is excellent and she did everything to make our stay as comfortable as possible. The oven broke and she got it fixed ASAP. She even offered the use of her own oven in the meantime, but there are plenty of good takeaways in Leith!
Leith is the best place in Edinburgh, you won’t be disappointed.
