Pilar's flat was ideally situated for us : it is a short walk from the main Edinburgh touristic attractions AND in the heart of the up-and-coming historic Leith neighbourhood (lots of nice bars and restaurants in which you get to mingle with the locals. A late evening walk on the shore/Leith Waters is a must-do). Regular bus and tram lines will take you to the airport in less than an hour. Pilar is an experienced host who's still very enthousiastic to meet new people and share what she loves about her city. She explained everything upon our arrival so that we could have an good and easy stay. And we did!
