This is a nice location, not too far from the city and the beach (Portobello). You need to walk out to get food, so it's best to grab some on the way before getting to the house. It's in a housing area so no bars nearby. You have to use the local bus to get around which we found to be not very convenient as there were road closures and buses that would not get to the area due to diversion. So we had to literally walk really far and not very pleasant when it is too cold at night. And the buses from the city gets slower after 7pm so always try to get back before 7pm or catch a taxi (quite costly).
