We had a great weekend trip to Edinburgh staying at Philip's place. A 'girls' weekend for my mum's birthday, which included shopping, eating, and museums.
The flat was really comfortable and homely, far enough outside of the city centre to be quiet, but with fantastic transport links. There was a choice of buses (and the Lothian bus app is great for helping you find which ones to get to different places, and the pricing is really straightforward). It's also close enough to walk to the city centre though a bit more challenging with heavy bags.
There were shops and bars and restaurants close by, and the Leith shore is a lovely area.
Philip was a brilliant host, with good communication prior to check in. He showed us round the flat and also offered to make recommendations about things to do and how to get around.
Could not have asked for more.
