We had a great three days in Hannah’s parents’ flat. Fantastic location in the historic Leith Colonies, which are cosy Edwardian flats built by groups of building workers making the best of being off work in an industrial dispute. This one must originally, I think, have been a corner shop or small workshop to serve these local households. Well-equipped kitchen, good sofa, bright upstairs living room. The bedroom and bathroom are in a basement/cellar but not glum. We did have some minor issues with the bathroom which Hannah is sorting out.
You can easily walk to the Shore in Leith, to Princes Street, to the Water of Leith. There are good, frequent buses near the flat too. The Scottish National Museum, the National Portrait Gallery, the National Gallery and the Royal Yacht Britannia are a short easy bus ride away. If you like charity shop browsing, Leith Walk has several good ones. The area has many good pubs and restaurants.
