Mary was very welcoming, and knowledgable about her neighbourhood, and about the goings on in Edinburgh the weekend I visited(arts festival). She's close to Royal Botanical Gardens for the Hop on/Hop off buses, which are a great way to see the sites. She is also within easy walking distance to shops and pubs. I would recommend her place for short stays in Edinburgh. Mary was very friendly and personable!
