The best thing about Dee and Dunc’s place is the location—just off the middle of the Royal Mile and right around the corner from a few cafe’s, pubs, and a small grocery store. The place is small and up two flights of stairs but very functional with a comfy bed and great water pressure in the shower. They also had a bathroom sink with drawers, something we had not seen before. They also provided a bottle of wine, starter coffee, and some fresh flowers to make us feel welcome. Check in was clear (even if we did accidentally go to the wrong door first!), and they were kind enough to let us know that the place was ready early. Dee and Dunc also left clear instructions and good recommendations for restaurants and cafes. We tried Mimi’s around the corner for scones, and Outsider for lunch one day (highly recommend). Another restaurant we liked for its quieter atmosphere but great food was Le Bistro, in the French Embassy.
