Matthew's flat is absolutely perfect for a stay in Edinburgh. We've been to the city several time, however this is the first we've stayed in Stockbridge and it was absolutely perfect. Walkable to our friend's in Trinity, to downtown, and to the Royal Mile (if you're looking for more touristy stuff). Loads of shops, restaurants, and bars are within minutes. We primarily walk when we come to the city, and Matthew's place is perfectly situated to meet any need you have.
