We absolutely loved our own private rooms overlooking the beautiful garden. Although we were staying in the lower level of the home of Lucy and Christian, their charming children, and lovable dog, we had a lot of privacy and our own entrance. The continental breakfast Christian served each morning was delicious--fresh fruit, yogurt, croissants, cereals, orange juice, tea, coffee. The bed was extremely comfortable, with luxurious sheets and pillows. We appreciated how tightly the shutters closed to keep out the light. (It stays light so late in the summer!) Excellent water pressure in the shower and big, soft towels. The location is perfect--a 20-minute walk gets you to the Royal Mile, and 15 minutes in the opposite direction gets you to the Holyrood Distillery and Arthur's Seat. We loved the neighborhood pubs--especially The Royal Dick Bar inside Summerhall, and Steel Coulson Southside. If you go, say hello to Max, the friendliest bartender in Edinburgh! Several bus lines pick up nearby if you get tired of walking (we used the 41 and 24 quite a bit--if you are taking more than 3 rides a day, the day pass is worth it--you can just pay at the front of the bus with a credit card and then show the receipt each time you board. Be sure to sit upstairs for amazing views). We can't recommend this AirBnB highly enough, and are already trying to figure out a way to visit again!
