My wife and I lived in Edinburgh previously, and so didn't think that staying in a regular hotel would meet our needs for re-visiting our old home. That said, we also had more "needs" than maybe your average visitor (already having favourite haunts, expectations, etc). Staying at Katie's flat was wonderful. It was a great spot to call our second home while in Edinburgh. It is perfectly situated in the city, convenient for Old and New Town, and especially close to the University and festival venues. All major bus lines are close by. Katie was very kind and met us promptly. She generously left a few bits and bobs in the kitchen for us (orange juice, prosecco, bread, and eggs), as well as a thorough visiting guide (which we didn't need but others would be grateful to have on hand), and advised us to get in touch with any queries. We would look forward to staying here again and would definitely recommend to our friends and family.
