The neighbourhood of Morningside is lovely. We enjoyed breakfast pastries from a bakery, and drinks in the Hermitage across the road. It’s a lovely walk in Edinburgh centre as you walk past lots of independent shops and cafes on the way, and good bus links for the return journey.
I felt compared to other places I have stayed it was on the expensive side, little extras like hand wash in the bathroom at least are usually provided. The kitchen and bathroom I wouldn’t class as particularly newly renovated, and there are tatty areas like the carpet in one bedroom, and holes in walls where things have been taken down and not patched up. Having said that, I don’t live there and it was only an overnight visit, just on the surface things like ok but it’s quite superficial. Great views from all rooms. Don’t be alarmed when you first open the door- the stairwell is fairly rustic!
