We have been to Edinburgh many times, and we took a chance staying a little further from the city center. I am SO GLAD we did! Mike and Pauline's apartment was wonderful. Spacious, clean, and had everything we needed for a fantastic stay. The neighborhood is beautiful and calm and within walking distance from restaurants, shops, and a grocery store. It is also a short 15 minute bus ride into the city center, and the bus stop is only a 2 minute walk from the apartment. Additionally, if you needed to take a taxi ride from the city center, like we did out of sheer convenience from the Tattoo, it was only a 10 pound journey. Should we have the privilege of visiting our favorite city again soon, we will definitely book this place again :)
