Our experience staying at Alison's flat in Edinburgh was fantastic! It's spacious, clean, has lovely decor (the NYC pics made us feel right at home), and the bathroom has heated tiles which was a great bonus. The flat is so close to the New Town (about an 8 minute walk) and close to the Royal mile as well (12 min. walk). We didn't end up taking any cabs or using any of the public transportation because we were just so close to everything. Alison was super attentive to our needs as well, checking in with us to make sure everything was good and answer any questions we had. We had a lovely time, and would recommend staying here if you have the chance!
