Sheila's private ensuite 2 room loft is a little gem from where we could sit and watch evening fireworks over Edinburgh castle. It has only recently been renovated with very good taste and the necessary amenities to self cater if one wishes to have breakfast indoors, have a cup of tea or heat an evening meal. It is just across the road from the Botanical gardens which are simply gorgeous and perfect for a quiet day learning about plants and vegetation from around the world. We happily walked to and from the city centre, luckily having pleasantly warm Scottish days (there's the bus just in case you don't wish to walk). It was perfect to come back to a quiet place in the evening, away from the hustle and bustle and noise of the very busy city centre due to all the festival events and large number of visitors in Edinburgh. Sheila was the perfect host, very available to help with anything and we so much appreciated being able to store our luggage at her apartment after check-out until the evening.
