A little hidden gem in the heart of the city. Such a joy to stay here as Stockbridge was not an area we had explored before. The Stockbridge colonies are right on the Waters of Leith (we even saw a heron!).
The ground floor flat was spotlessly clean with a lovely fresh smell and was the perfect spot from which to explore the city. Spacious and relaxing, it feels like a home from home; with a very comfortable bed, loads of storage space, a well-stocked kitchen, great shower and large lounge/dining room. We were blessed with good weather & could enjoy the outdoor seated area, as well as walks along the Waters of Leith and around the wonderful Botanic Gardens. Don’t miss a walk to Dean Village too; beautiful, picturesque and a surprising piece of history full of hidden corners. Also Raeburn Street with its independent shops, cafés, bookshops and gift shops is great for an afternoon browsing.
The flat is comfortably near Princes Street (about a 20 minute leisurely walk) but also far enough away to be a peaceful retreat.
Jennifer was very helpful and replied so quickly to any questions asked. She gave us lots of ideas for places to eat and also helped with the parking (much cheaper when done through the visitors vouchers than by the meter).
This is a perfect stay if you want to live like a local. A wee gem of a place and we look forward to returning x
