My daughter and I have just spent a few days in Edinburgh for the Fringe, and the flat is in a very handy location for that. It was easy getting the bus from Waverley (either buses going along London Road, or turning off up Easter Road), and we found the no. 5 bus was particularly useful for going to the old town (as it turns down North Bridge just before Waverley, crosses over the Royal Mile and continues southwards). Day tickets at £4 are useful if you are going to make more than two bus journeys. Of course, you can easily walk to the Royal Mile and the old town from the flat, and it doesn't take long.

The flat is great for two people - good-sized double bedroom, good-sized living/dining/kitchen room, and a shower room. Everything worked perfectly - fridge, cooker, kettle, hot water, shower, plumbing, wifi - but I think it is fair to say that the shower room is tiny, so you might find it difficult if you are a big person. But that's what traditional Edinburgh tenement flats are like, and it is part of the charm! This block is on a nice quiet street, and the flat itself looks out onto a back garden and trees - it is not overlooked at all. The street is blocked off from the main road by steps, and you don't hear traffic noise at all. It is handy being just off London Road, though, not just for the buses, but because there is a retail park with a huge Sainsbury's only a few minutes walk from the flat. There was tea, coffee, sugar, and a few bits and pieces like olive oil and rice for us in the kitchen, and Bryan had left a lovely box of biscuits too, but for the odd extras and things like milk, then Sainsburys was to hand.

The double bed was very comfortable, and there is also a sofa bed in the living room, which Bryan made up for us, in case we needed it. Bryan was a helpful host, arrangements were straighforward, and we enjoyed our stay.

Thanks!
