Marchmont was a wonderful neighborhood to experience Edinburgh, Scotland as a resident would. It was located in walking distance to all of the places we wanted to be especially during the Fringe Festival. Rebecca and her family left us detailed information about their home and welcomed us warmly. Their flat was even better than the photos! Tastefully appointed with beautiful artwork. The spacious kitchen and bathroom made it very easy for us. Everything was extremely comfortable and functional for our family of four. The neighborhood was amenable to grocery shopping and finding morning coffee at Cobalt, the little makeshift coffee/breakfast hut that used to be a police stand. In addition, the fresh eggs from Rebecca's hens made for delicious breakfasts. We had a marvelous stay in their beautiful, top floor apartment.
