The room is on the ground floor, and the ensuite is a great bonus. The bed is very comfortable and the room is nicely decorated with plenty of storage. Siobhan and John were very helpful and welcoming hosts, offering the use of their dining room and lounge. the area is quiet, so you get a good night's sleep, and it's not far to the city centre by public transport.
It was a flat 10-15 minute walk to Saughton tram which gives you easy access to the city centre, West End, Princes Street, Murrayfield and also the airport and Gyle shopping centre. Alternatively you can walk a similar distance to Corstophine and get regular buses in to Edinburgh as well as the 500 bus every 15mins 24 hours a day to Glasgow. There is a reasonable range of local and national brand cafes and restaurants in Corstophine.
