Eva gives excellent advice on how to explore Edinburgh! I really enjoyed the free tour she recommended me. She knows many good restaurants in the area as well. She and her partner are so friendly.
And the room was beautiful and spacious. Eva also provided amenities such as tea and snacks. It was wonderful to stroll behind the building and see Holyrood Park and Arthur's seat right outside in the cool quiet morning. Holyrood Palace is also just in the backyard.
The Royal Mile is just a few minutes walk away. It's nice to be able to sleep in a quiet neighborhood outside of pubs. Really do consider staying with Eva, you will have a lovely time.
