This flat is truly extraordinary. Our tastes tend to run higher than our budget, and Anke leaves so many nice touches that the experience felt truly luxurious: fresh flowers, coffee, treats for the kids, milk, orange juice and bagels to get us started. Plus, there's a market right across the street. The living room has books for the whole family! And Anke's design sensibility is impeccable. The neighborhood is quiet, and the nearby canal is a great place to walk. The trip into the center of Edinburgh is really easy, especially on bus 10. (By the way, there's a Family Day Pass for the bus system. Apparently, it's new, and so many of the drivers don't even know about it. It's a good deal.)
