What a wonderful respite in a perhaps the only quiet spot in a big city. Walking distance from pretty much everything in the city but you can get away from the bustle quickly and easily. Great restaurants less then 1/4 mile walk and they are surrounded by beautiful parks. Two awesome Italian places were really close. The cottage is roomy, well appointed and sits in the back of an incredible private garden. Hosts Amanda and Ed were super friendly and Amanda was kind enough to tutor me properly in the pronunciation of "Edinbruh". My only regret is that we didn't stay longer!
