My mum and I stayed in Lilian's apartment during the University Freshers' Week. It's very conveniently located with McEwan Hall just across the road and Old College a stone throw away. Lilian and Jim welcomed us in the apartment on the day of check-in and showed us how to use the amenities .
The place is sparkling clean . The bed and pillows are very comfortable. The kitchen is well equipped. It's very thoughtful of Lilian to provide us with breakfast.
There are plenty of buses servicing the area and getting around in Edinburgh is very easy.
