We've stayed at Michael's place for our first visit to Edinburgh.
It was probably the best decision we've made for the whole trip.
The place is clean, quiet, cozy and exceptionally equipped. Location is superb - bus to the city centre stops right before the front door. Shopping centre with huge Sainsbury's store is 5 minutes walk from the house.
Parking was possible on the next street, although I'm not 100% sure that we didn't violate any rules parking our car there.
Our stay was well above our expectations, and having such a cozy place to curl up in after the long day of sightseeing indeed played a huge role in our falling in love with Edinburgh.
Can't wait to be back!
