We were visiting Edinburgh for the Fringe Festival and Karen's place could not be more perfect! Amazing location on the Royal Mile, but not too close to the center of Festivities, about a block and a half away. We enjoyed a lovely cafe right downstairs each morninh and there is lots of shopping in the area, including grocery and Pharmaceutical needs. We took the train in from London and it was only about a 15 minute walk up the hill and around the corner to our flat. Karen provided lots of little touches to make our stay extra special. We had a small issue with one of the door knobs and Karen responded immediately. We couldn't be happier! We will be back in 2 years and look forward to staying at Karen's place again.
