I shudder to say this (as wanting to keep it private for my own future use) but Manigeh's place is so good as a location. In the beautiful Marchmont area, quiet but right by the Meadows and access to Edinburgh centre. She is the perfect host - quick to communicate and really flexible. The rooms are very comfortable and the bathrooms clean with excellent showers. It is a lovely, lovely pad for the Festival and other times of the year.
