Anthony's place is very nice. It may not be a luxury Hotel but the simplicity and the things that go with it is what makes it special. It is about 15 minutes walk from the outskirts of the city and has easy access to major tourist spots and attractions. It has easy access to a traveller's need specifically transport and a local grocery store not to mention restaurants that are just about a minute away (although you cab always opt to grab a bite in Oldtown Edinburgh which I highly recommend.) Also, having a pharmacy near the place is an absolute plus (just in case someone has a need.) The cleanliness of the room I was in is mind boggling! A definite treat to stay in.
Anthony is a very generous host and is very hospitable. A definite plus for travellers going in to Edinburgh for the first time. I definitely would recommend first time travellers to give Anthony's place a try.
