I can't praise Ali and Al's place too highly. It is a beautifully laid out apartment with all the amenities one could ask for. Al and Ali went beyond what we might have expected, stocking it with fresh food and coffee and making sure that the apartment had everything one might want for a comfortable stay. The apartment is located in a very nice neighborhood, in walking distance of central Edinburgh, but far enough away from the areas overrun by tourists. And as someone else mentioned, the apartment is full of Ali's rather subtle artwork. All this aside, the nicest thing about this place is Ali and Al themselves. They are delightful people, helpful in every way and really interesting to talk to. Were we to visit Edinburgh again, we would not hesitate to stay in the Coach House just to cross paths with these very nice people.
