This is a really clean and comfortable base for exploring the beautiful city of Edinburgh. Stockbridge is a great location, small shops, a fantastic Sunday foodie market, amazing cheese shop, artisan bread, pies, cakes and pastries a short stroll from the flat. There are plenty of eateries and bars close by too, including a very welcoming pub on the corner, just a few steps away from the front door! We chose various routes through New Town into Edinburgh city centre and Old Town, all of them worth a stroll in the their own right. Usually it only took us ten to fifteen minutes, depending on how many photographs we stopped to take on the way! The weather was kind to us and, at the end of a busy day sightseeing, we were able to have a cup of tea sitting outside at the front whilst reading our books. If you are a fan of Alexander McCall Smith, you will recognise many of the street names and places mentioned in his 44 Scotland Street novels as you walk around the local area. A very happy holiday, we hope others enjoy their stays as much as we did. Parking on site a real bonus.
