I have a great time staying at Alan's. The apartment is really clean and the neighbourhood is quite and beautiful. You definitely will have a sleep at night. I do! There is a wonderful park behind Alan's home. I had my both morning walk and evening walk over there:) One of the great things is that you can go the old town, the city center easily. There are several bus stops close by. Where ever you are in the city, there is a bus going to the Cannon Miles, you get off there, then Alan's home is not far away:) Speak to the Alan, he is a great and wonderful gentleman, and gave me lots of help. When I got there, he explained the transport in Edinburgh for me, and told me where I can buy stuff and many other help~, so, if I come back to Edinburgh again, I will still choose to live in Alan's:)
