Esther's flat is every bit as gorgeous as the photos suggest, and bigger than I realized! The location also cannot be beat. It's away from the tourists, overlooking a lovely park, with tons of unique shops and restaurants right outside the door. I highly recommend Melt Mongers, The Chocolate Tree, and Cafe Grande for food! There are also several bus stops right outside the door, which took my husband and I anywhere we wanted to go, although we chose to walk most of the time. The bigger tourist attractions are an easy and beautiful walk along which you'll find tons of great vintage/charity shops, book shops, and more. We were delighted with our experience and sad to leave! Esther was also kind enough to let us check in a bit early and drop our bags when we arrived in Edinburgh well before check-in time, and it was greatly appreciated. All around an amazing value and couldn't have enjoyed it more.
