We felt lucky to find David's place for our Thanksgiving trip to visit our Edinburgh cousins! It was a lovely 25 minute walk to Silverknowes along the bike path where they live, a 25 min walk to Botanical Gardens, and an easy 8 minute walk to a bus route downtown. A bus also stops right outside that took us there from the airport. David was responsive and helped us out with a few extra blankets when we were feeling a bit chilly and some extra bath towels for the week. My husband and I, my mother-in-law, sister-in-law, and her boyfriend all slept very comfortably and we were able to have a nice Thanksgiving dinner there with the whole family thanks to the lovely spacious + functional kitchen and large dining area. Would definitely return to stay again on another visit to family.
Also, the house is located on a busier road which we were a little nervous about beforehand, but the house is surrounded by a VERY large hedge and feels extremely private once inside the gate! Lovely yard.
