Duncan's flat was in a wonderful location--we had easy access to Old Town and surrounding sights w the buses, and also very much enjoyed the Leith area. The space accommodated our family of 3 couples very well, with a spare bedroom to boot. We enjoyed both cooking in the good sized kitchen and sampling the local restaurants in the guide book. Our favorite was Teuchter's in Leith.
Gaining access is doable, as long as you study the PDF that Duncan sends before arrival. Also be ready for 5 flights of stairs to the top floor--no elevator in this bldg.
Thank you so much for a wonderful stay!
