My husband and I stayed at Alison's place for two months, and it was the perfect place for our first stay in Edinburgh. The flat is separated from the house, so we had plenty of privacy. The location is ideal, as it is only a few minutes away from several bus stops, including the bus 26 that takes you straight into Edinburgh City in only about 20 minutes. There is a grocery store just a few minutes walk away, as well as a library which we used quite often to work and study. The Wifi at the flat also worked well. Amenities were great, we had everything we needed to cook meals, and Alison provided fresh sheets and towels every week. Alison is an amazing host- she is very friendly and attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed during our stay. She also gave some great tips on using public transportation and places to visit, as it was our very first time in Scotland. I couldn't recommend her place enough!
