I had a wonderful stay at Elspeth and Jonny's place. The space is exactly as pictured...very modern, clean, and has very high ceilings with a beautiful mezzanine. I stayed with a colleague, so it was great to have the mezzanine, which we used as a second bedroom so we each had our own space. We arrived early in the morning and they were gracious enough to meet us and store our bags while we went exploring until the check-in time. There are a fair number of restaurants, shops, and pubs around. To get to the royal mile, it is about a 15 minute walk. I enjoyed being away a little bit away from the hustle and bustle, but everything was still very convenient to get to by walking.
