Me and my girlfriend stayed in Helen's apartment for four days (three nights). The room is really very comfortable, nicely furnished and equipped with everything tourists like us may need. Comfortable bed, spacious shower, kitchenette with refrigerator etc. functional, even if we little used it, often preferring to take advantage of the few days available to better visit the city and try some typical food in the many locals and restaurants of the downtown districts. In this regard, the apartment is about a twenty minutes walk to the New Town, and about half an hour from the Old Town, so in terms of location really tempting. Just a few steps from where we stayed depart all the walks that allow you to stroll along the river leading to the Leith neighborhood (northeast) or Dean Village and the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art (southwest), and within very short walking distance there is the wonderfully Botanical Garden, definitely worth a visit. Helen proved to be a wonderful host, provided us with many useful tips for our stay and on the last day, after we checked out she allowed us to leave our bags so that we could take full advantage of the last hours of our trip without being burdened by the weight of luggage. In short, a great experience that should we come back to Edinburgh we would definitely like to repeat! Super recommended!
