Stephanie’s flat is in a wonderful location for exploring Edinburgh. We walked to Stockbridge (10/15 minutes ) via the water of leith walkway ( go out of the flat , turn left over dean bridge and then turn right ) which was beautiful . Stockbridge has lovely shops / places for coffee and cake . We went to Grams for brunch , it’s a very friendly cafe and does mainly vegan food . We walked to the botanical gardens ( around 20 minutes away) , which is highly recommended and only a donation is required.
We walked to old town which had wonderful buildings , more touristy shops and the castle is superb .
Another recommendation is Mary kings close , which is £19.50 to get in but well worth it as it’s a 17th century street which is preserved . We enjoyed learning about the inhabitants of the houses and the plague .
Stephanie you wasn’t there when we checked in but it was an easy process. The flat is beautiful , comfortable and you don’t feel like you are in the city as the area is surrounded by trees . We felt totally relaxed staying there . Thank you Stephanie . We will be back !
