We had a lovely stay in Stockbridge. The apartment is well situated with plenty of choices for food and drinks nearby. We chose to eat at the Scran and Scallie which was excellent especially if you have kids. The Water of Leith walkway is very pleasant and only across the road, we filled in a morning walking down it to Leith harbour.
The apartment itself was very clean and we felt we were in a very safe area.
We would definitely consider staying here again the next to we stay in Edinburgh.
