Wendy's place is the perfect location for enjoying Old Town. Very quick walk from the Edinburgh castle. In fact, it took me about 15 minutes to leave the castle, grab my raincoat, and get back to the castle when the weather took a turn as we were on our tour. There was a mishap with the water heater, but Wendy was quick to resolve it. She came and fixed it herself, and we had no problems after that!
