Amy's flat is an excellent choice for visitors to Edinburgh. Stockbridge is a pleasant, safe and lively neighborhood, with several excellent pubs, thrift-shopping thrills galore, a Sunday farmer's market with good food stalls, nearby parks, the Royal Botanic Garden, and walks along the Leith just minutes away. Its also on three bus lines to downtown and other areas of town. Center of town is just 20 minutes pleasant walk downhill in case you miss the last bus. So it couldn't be better located. The flat is part of the circa 1875 New Town construction, so lofty windows let in lots of light, tall ceilings lend elegance, and the street is classic New Town. The flat is well-laid out and unusually spacious for walk-ups of this vintage. Most importantly, although near bustle, it is on a quiet side street, the bedroom facing large back gardens, so unusually quiet inside for a city. You can hear the tap-tap of neighbors walking up the stone interior stairwell in the bedroom, but building occupants know to keep noise down in the stairwell, so not a problem. This flat has a super-modern shower, so no climbing in/out of tall tubs, and bath is very nicely remodeled. Kitchen has large capacity washer-dryer, very useful for a longer stay. It dries clothes well, as does the heated towel rack in the bath, but do try the capacious laundry line in the garden if you are there in good weather! This flat is a very good value - we couldn't have done better!
