Fran's townhouse was perfectly located, right in the heart of 'new town' Edinburgh. Within an easy walking distance to restaurants, shopping, and the castle, we couldn't have chosen a better location. Fran provides easy directions if you want to take a cab or a bus (we chose the latter) from the airport. Keep in mind that your room is up three flights of stairs - something to note if you do not travel light, as we did not. The room is lovely and clean, and Fran's teenaged children are polite and well-spoken.
