Fiona is a wonderful hostess and very thoughtful. Fiona went out of her way to make us feel at home and also gave us a lot of local tips for things to see and do, restaurants to try and local transportation. Fiona’s apartment is well located with views across the park to the castle and it is a very nice walk into the centre of the city through The Meadows. I recommend a day or two on the Hop on Hop Off bus to get a good overview of Edinburgh so you can decide what highlights you would like to experience during your stay.
