Simon’s apartment is at a perfect place within Edinburgh. Stockbridge has this enormous reputation anyway, and this apartment is perfectly placed in Stockbridge.
It was is walkable to almost all important places - water of leith just makes the walks more interesting, I managed to walk to portobello and the zoo on two ends of the city.
The restaurants and cafes nearby are a great mix of cuisines.
Overall my stay in Edinburgh in the times of the pandemic has been quite brilliant.
