If you’re looking for a more authentic experience in Edinburgh, then look no further. Not only is the apartment far enough from the tat-laden Royal mile, it’s also only a 20 minute walk from there and the rest of the touristy stuff. Phil’s place is 5 minutes from Leith walk and a much more vibrant, eclectic and authentic Edinburgh that, frankly, cannot be overstated. The place itself is great and has everything you would want to make you feel comfortable, and plenty of places around it to make you feel at home. You’d couldn’t possibly do better than staying here, whether for a day or a month.
