Derek's place is clean, comfortable, and well located. It is less than 30 min walk to major tourist attractions Edinburgh Castle and the Royal Mile. The Heymarket train station is about 15 min walk. We took the train there to St Andrews Links for a round of golf. Grocery store like Sainbury Local is ~ 5 min walk. Several dining options are also within 10 min walk. Derek and Sheila are great hosts. Derek gave us a lot of helpful suggestions before our arrival and during our stay. He informed us when the train fare (Edinburgh to London) was on sale, helped us reserve a taxi to the Waverley train station. We would like to stay at Derek's place again!
