If you want peace and quiet in an extremely safe neighborhood away from the noise of the centre of Edinburgh, this is the place for you! This was my second year in a row spending the entire month of August with Liz and her daughter, renting what she accurately describes as "room with beautiful views.". The view of the Pentland hills is as pretty as the picture, in a very peaceful and quiet neighborhood where I always felt safe coming home late at night on the bus. Liz is a terrific host who's become my Scottish family. She goes above and beyond what any other Air BnB host has ever done for me; she's done my laundry! She will offer all kinds of useful advice about getting around in Edinburgh. And she gave me full use of her magnificent fully-equipped kitchen, so I could eat in and save money. There is a huge grocery store within five minute's walk, near a bus stop for 2 bus routes into Edinburgh. It is about 30 minutes rides to the centre of town, but I enjoyed the bus rides, traveling through lovely neighborhoods with lots of charm. New this year was a flat screen TV in the room, so it felt like a small luxury hotel room. The house is always very clean and well-kept. Liz and her 18 year old daughter Sophie are both quiet, and sharing the bathroom was never a problem. if I come back to the Edinburgh Festival next year, I will be sure to book again with Liz!
