My fiancee and I stayed at Jon's apartment over Christmas and New Year's and it was the perfect space to spend both periods in. The apartment is cosy, warm and comfortable, and neatly tucked in by the Shore in Leith. Its location is quiet yet accessible. There are nearby bus stops to take you to the City, Ocean Terminal (mall) and the Airport. What we loved about it too was that there were convenient parking spaces available just outside the apartment building.
If you're keen to explore the city and learn about the rich history of both Leith and Edinburgh, making this apartment home base would be the perfect start to your journey.
