This is a great place to call your home during a stay in Edinburgh. The neigborhood is quiet, but full of things to see, do and eat. And a short busdrive brings you to the heart of the city. We stayed at Johns place for a full week, and loved coming back to it after a long day with a lot of walking. The apartment is very clean, the bed and shower are great, and the fireplace provides for some cozyness. John himself wasn't there during our stay, but he was always available to answer some questions, and his friendly neighbor showed us around the house on arrival.
Highly recommended!
