Once our 2 night booking was accepted Shanna was very proactive in communicating was us about directions and arrival time. The house was a 10 to 15 min walk to the Royal Mile and castle. If you are saving energy or carrying shopping then there are many buses 2 min walk then end downtown and cost 1pound 60 p standard. The twin beds were comfortable and the room large and airy. I stayed up way past my bedtime chatting with the family. It was a quiet neighborhood and we found free parking 50 yards away. A great location for history buffs and a wonderful host I highly recommend this home.
