The pictures don't do it justice. The place is much larger than what it looks on the photos. It's close to a really lovely park and the area is surrounded by cafes, takeaways, restaurants etc. Everything you need in one place, as well as local independent shops just around the corner. John & Alison were great hosts and kept the communication throughout our stay with all our questions answered. This is a great location if you want a quiet place to rest after a long day of walking around Edinburgh. We really loved our stay, the flat felt like our own home, it has everything you need. The only thing we can suggest is get an Uber or taxi to and from the station as we don't recommend walking from the station to the flat as it's quite far especially when dragging around suitcases. Apart from that we walked pretty much everywhere during our stay as it's the best way to see Edinburgh! We highly recommend John & Alison's place!
