Marie's home was perfect for our needs. There were 5 of us from three generations of family. The kitchen has everything. The beds were comfortable with plenty of spare linens and blankets. Everything was perfectly clean. The washer and dryer were very handy and put to great use by us.
The busses into town are close & convenient and take about 25 minutes each way. We mostly took taxis on account of my mom-in-law's mobility issues. The taxi was 11£ each way to downtown. There is a huge Sainsbury's store just 1200 feet away if you need groceries & supplies.
Marie had breakfast supplies all ready for us with plenty of rolls, cereals, and coffee. There was also plenty of water and sodas. And there are 3-4 pubs within an easy walk or quick taxi ride.
Best of all, we stayed here for Hogmanay, Edinburgh's New Year's Eve Party. Marie had set us up with a beautiful gift to help ring in the New Year.
Stay here. You won't regret it.
