Debbie's place has everything that a traveller would expect with good accommodation. It is within walking distance to the city centre, which is just as well as the buses don't accept cash customers and the central tourist information centre is under reconstruction for any useful information on using public transport. All facilities are handy including a large Tesco but better still a family run market shop where they make their own bread in Dundas St a couple of blocks away. There are coffee shops a block away as well as a post office and newsagent. The walk to Leith path which runs alongside Debbie's place is a highlight as well as the interesting streetscape and churches nearby. The extensive Botanical Gardens are a short walk away as well. Edinburgh is the sort of place that makes all travellers feel welcome and I would recommend Debbie's place as a well kept comfortable retreat from the activity of the tourists in Princes Street.
