I would absolutely recommend Niall and Paul's place to anyone visiting Edinburgh. Very friendly and thoughtful hosts, a really lovely house, and easy to get into the city centre by bus.
Niall and Paul were extremely generous during our stay, cooking us a delicious breakfast each morning. And their two Springadors are adorable!
Bus numbers 10, 16 and 45 all go to the property from town (Niall very kindly met us at the bus stop when we arrived), so extremely easy to get around. Colinton itself is also worth a wander - it's a lovely leafy village with a very friendly feel.
