Trish's flat offered the best of two worlds. A 8 minute train took us out of the city center and place us in a quiet neighborhood close to beautiful walking and biking paths that led to both the sea (Portobello Beach) and to open fields of wild flowers and farm land. It was so quiet yet a supersized ASDA was a short 10 minute walk away to accommodate all your needs. The flat itself was well equipped. It was perfect for my daughter and I. It can easily accommodate 3. Trish was very receptive, replying to all e-mail inquires within minutes. At the flat she was very help orientating us around the flat as well as sharing useful local information. The train is only 5 minutes walk away and the service into the Waverly station is frequent. If you want both Edinburgh and the sea at your fingertips, Trish's flat is definitely the place to stay.
