The accommodation in Portobello is a perfect place for sightseeing in Edinburgh. There is a bus to the city center (30 min, 1,70 per adult, 0,80 per child - or 8,50 for the whole family and a day), the bus is very often a day, even in Sunday). But the best is the sea in front of the house to go swimming every day (of course the water is not so warm). We will come back definitely.
