I cannot recommend Catherine's home enough! I stayed a week and I felt really welcome. Her place has a lovely homey feeling to it. Big bathroom, great amenities and a comfortable bright room. I was able to use her kitchen to cook dinner and Catherine was willing to provide anything extra I needed (oil, salt/pepper) . Its about a 25minute walk to the city centre, and about 20mins to Leith. She had some great tips on where to go locally for food and she even invited me to have pancakes with her friends one night. I would definitely stay here again if I'm back in Edinburgh!
