Julian's apartment is incredible beautiful and has a great homely feel. Buses stop right outside that take you to the city centre, you can also walk if preferred, and there are lots of shops along the street for food and clothes and such. Perfect location for Arthur's seat and Holyrood park and the view out the window is amazing.
Julian was nothing but helpful and kind during my stay, and if you want a host that feels more like a roommate this place is perfect. He also provided breakfast foods and fresh eggs which was incredibly kind.
