Let's start out by saying we're biased because we love Stockbridge and this was our second visit to the area (and third to Edinburgh in 18 months) and by the end of our stay we still had about 10 restaurants and coffee shops = we still wanted to try just in Stockbridge alone... so we will be back ..... We really enjoyed staying at this little property ... not a historic looking building by any means so if you're looking for the ghost of an artisan worker you're not going to find it here.... but it is surrounded by plenty of beautiful homes in Bernards Row (leading to the Botanic Gardens) .... a well lit road, great security and elevator access (with our recent back injuries we were grateful to avoid narrow tenement staircases this time!) friendly neighbours and amazing eclectic mix of friendly local shops (a proper super friendly butcher baker candlestick maker /boutique /proper coffee shop experience - refreshing after the tartan haze of Princes Street!) and only a minute from the Stockbridge bus stops into Edinburgh and beyond.... (seriously if its cold weather do get a bus pass from corner of Waverley Bridge Bus office and upload the bus company APP to get notification of when your next bus is due and where it's going to - we recouped the £22 for a seven day pass in a matter of days) - Sleeping arrangements were extremely comfortable... the living area with kitchenette was cosy and the washer dryer was a godsend for those travelling light - and to have french windows opening onto a shared balcony was extremely pleasant. This definitely ticked a lot of positive boxes.
