Unfortunately I never got to meet with Jo. We did however have some text messages.
The flat is in a great area right in the middle of the tourist centre of Edinburgh. I literally only had to walk outside the door to be in the midst of bagpipe players, old historic buildings and a 5 -10 minute walk away was the castle. Many restaurants and pubs.
Lots of steps to the flat and up into the flat. I enjoyed the exercise.
Great view from out of the main window of the town. And a real sense of being in Edinburgh surrounded by grey tall historic Scottish buildings.
The directions (complete with pictures) were very helpful when it came to finding the flat.
