Sara’s place is a true hidden gem, right from all the action, but hidden away along a stream that could well be the most picturesque part of Edinburgh. The walk along the stream is definitely a big recommendation even if you’re not staying here. The room in the apartment is secluded from the rest of the apartment and offers great privacy (almost as if you’re renting the whole apartment). Furthermore, Sara gave us great non-touristic recommendations such as the local market nearby with great paella, coffee, pasta and other local fresh produce. Book if you have the chance!
