Anke's home is perfect for a couple or small family looking for a base of operations to explore the city from, or as somewhere to chill and chat. Her own artwork hanging around the property makes for original decor and interesting talking point. The home is beautifully furnished and fantastically located only 5 minutes from the canal, from where you can walk onto Princes Street in 15 minutes alongside beautiful scenery. 10 minutes away is a supermarket (Sainsburys) which has all you may need for cooking your own meals and a small 'Marigiota' where you can get small bits and bobs like milk if you run out. Anke was a wonderful host, answering questions quickly and efficiently and helping with flexibility on check-out so we were not moving huge bags around the city in the morning before our flight. Many thanks Anke and we'll definitely be returning on our next trip to Edinburgh!
