I chose Amanda's studio because I had previously lived in the same area and knew it would be a good place to base ourselves for a visit to Edinburgh. The location is perfect. In the studio you have complete peace and quiet in the lovely leafy surroundings of Amanda's beautiful garden. When you want to head for the city centre you are just a few yards from Bruntsfield Links where you immediately have brilliant views of the castle and Arthur's Seat. It's a lovely walk through these two parks and you can get to the old town on foot in about 25 minutes. Alternatively there are several bus routes a few minutes walk away. Bruntsfield and neighbouring Morningside are worth exploring for their independent shops and cafes. There is an excellent independent cinema in Morningside.
The studio itself is wonderfully light and airy and equipped with everything you might need.
Amanda was a great host. She made us feel very welcome and offered advice on places to visit. I would highly recommend staying here.
