Emma's place is a gem. It is a 3 minute walk from the Miracle Mile but in a quiet Old Town neighborhood nearby. While there are lots of wonderful places to stay in Old Town most involve tortuous winding staircases which are a nightmare for anyone who can not leap from step to step like a gazelle. But Emma's flat is easily accessed up 4 or 5 normal stairs. The apartment is comfortable with washer/dryer and pretty much anything you might expect. The beds were really comfortable and the linens and down comforters and pillows were perfect. We did not have a car, but the wonder of finding a place in Old Town with free parking did not escape us and the taxi fare from Waverly Station was £4.
Most wonderful, however, is Emma herself who is so willing, indeed eager, to go the extra mile for her guests. Response time to any inquiry was all but instantaneous. We will definitely try to book again next time we are in Edinburgh!
