Viv's place was a perfect slice of heaven. Great place to see Edinburgh. You can choose to walk to the Royal Mile, or take a bus close by (about 3 min walk to bus stop). The cottage is private and spotless clean. Coffee and tea were provided. Viv lives next door and answered all our questions upon check in. We left our car parked in Viv's driveway which avoided the hassle of parking and Edinburgh traffic. The cottage is central to all the must see sights, my personal favourite being the Royal Botanical Gardens. I will heartily recommend this cottage to anyone visiting the area.
