I stayed at Yvonne's while taking in a few days of the Fringe in Edinburgh. While it wasn't the most convenient location it was worth the small distance. Yvonne, was polite and friendly and made me feel comfortable. The room was clean and comfortable and had everything required. Even a kettle for tea and coffee. Conveniently located on the park so walking distance to Arthur's Seat. I did walk that way to Old town, it was a nice walk and took half an hour. The bus is fairly convenient and can take between 12 mins to half hour depending on the time of day or night. It takes longer at night due to less frequent buses. I can highly recommend Yvonne's place for anyone willing to be a few minutes out of the hustle and bustle of the city. It was really quiet and I slept really well!
