Rachel’s flat was a perfect landing spot for our Edinburgh trip.
This marked the halfway point of our month-long road-trip and it was nice to settle in for a few days and do laundry, relax and park the car. While Rose Street is a pedestrian zone, the mall car park at St Jame’s square was perfect for us. We parked for 3 days without issue.
We walked all over the city from the flat! The location was perfect. Of course - acquaint yourself with Rose St. before committing - it can get rowdy on the weekends like any busy city street. If you need dead silence to sleep - pack some ear plugs and you’ll be ace.
Everything was as Rachel described. Yes - it’s a classic Edinburgh tenement flat and that’s part of what makes it so amazing. Once you get to the top and open the flat door, you’re transported to the most quaint, cozy space.
Rachel is the most communicative host. She was traveling and still found time to answer all my questions, before and during! Couldn’t ask for anything more!
