Ease of access to the bus (right in front of the house), ease of access to a grocery store (3 minute walk), great restaurant across the street (1 minute to get in the door), and the house was wonderful. We were able to see so much of Edinburgh thanks to the location of the house. We would stay again! We had 6 people (2 adults, 2 teens, 2 children) and it was a breeze to stay there. We drove into the city, and it took around 15 minutes. Highly recommend.
