Brock and Becky's place was a great find, a little pearl in an oyster.
It was very private, but the hosts were handy if you wanted to chat, find out information, without encroaching on your space. And they were keen that you felt at home to make use of the garden etc.
Stylish and comfortable as well as clean. There's the option to cook and store food if you wanted a cheaper stay.
Becky and Brock had put lovely personal touches to the place that were so comforting and welcoming and were lovely to blether to (Scottish term for chatting).
Portobello is a great spot if you want a coastal stay but still close to the 'buzz' as the local bus service was frequent and quick and easy to use to access other parts of the city. The town was only a few minutes walk. I couldn't recommend this highly enough.
