Claire’s place was great. Lots of nice touches, like a welcome basket with local goodies and coffee, tea and milk in the kitchen.
It’s well furnished, with good quality furniture, bedding and towels. It has the feeling of a proper home. We were met by Claire, who was welcoming and friendly.
The apartment is in a quiet tenement block on a small side street, and we heard no noise from the street or neighbours. Leith Walk is just a minute walk away though with plenty of cafes, shops, bars, restaurants and a late opening Coop just around the corner. There are several buses into Edinburgh too (about 15 minutes ride into the centre).
We were there for a week during the Fringe and it was easy to get in and out of town. I would definitely recommend Claire’s place to anyone staying in Leith, or the outskirts of Edinburgh.
