Still being at home Louise helped us to find the right bus to her apartment and further on for our trip to Inverness also the informations on the side of her apartment are at great length! Louise and Robin waited for us the whole long time till we finally arrived very late and gave us such a warm welcome and helped us with our lots of luggage to bring it upstairs to the flat in the 3rd floor where we were offered a splendid juice and tea - it made us feeling like coming to stay with good friends!
The very, very clean apartment is really great like the pictures still told us before: two spacious, high and bright rooms, which are very well equipped in a modern style – including a little oven in the living room which we didn’t used in August. In the kitchen we found all we need for us including a washing machine which we could use. Especially the bathroom is fantastic and big and – there is a dressing room! Behind the house is a garden which you can use if you have enough time in your luggage … The neighborhood is quiet what you can enjoy when you come from the festival: FRINGE! A supermarket, Tesco, is nearby and also the bus stop for busses to the heart of the city at day and night. To go by foot is possible as well and it’s a very interesting walk along one of the main streets … if you have enough time in your luggage!
We found a program from the festival in the flat and a guide for eating in Edinburgh. Louise gave us a tip for a really good Italian restaurant for the taste of our son: La Favorita in Leith Walk only 10 min away by feet – we went there twice!
The flat was simply perfect for us and Louise and Robin are so friendly and helpfully hosts that we will come again and again if we come back to Edinburgh ... with a bit more time in our luggage!
