Livia's place is in a perfect location near the West End Princess Tram station. Easy access to and from the airport. You do not need (or want) a car in Edinburgh. Walking distance to most everything. Bus, Tram or taxi was very easy, too.
The apartment was on a busy street with very little noticeable noise and also had nice blackout shutters. We stayed in the back bedroom to insure less street noise but I think the front bedroom would have been fine, too. A very spacious apartment, well appointed. It was really nice to meet the owner, Livia, and to have her share a few tips about the apartment and local area. One recommendation she shared, Whighams Wine Cellars, provided one of the best meals we have had on our 3 week road trip of Scotland. Highly recommend.
