The description of Sarah's cozy apartment does not do justice to its extremely convenient location for exploring Edinburgh. Everything on a visitor's list, from historical sites to museums to excellent pubs (don't miss Teuchter's, just a block away, for both food and drink), groceries, and currency exchange, can be easily walked; i.e., no need for cabs or buses. That notwithstanding, the small street had very little traffic and was pleasantly quiet. It was our first Air BnB in a "basement apartment", but street-level windows admitted plenty of light. Sarah has installed all the amenities, including a washing machine (!), and we loved the heated towel racks, which were quite useful on rainy days. In full disclosure, a guest with a walker or cane could be a bit inconvenienced by the steps down and up to the key lockbox and then down to the inside apartment. A double lock on the apartment door provides ample security, although we walked a good bit at night and had no concerns. Without question, we would be delighted to stay here again.
