Our experience with Fiona and her apartment was great. She's a very sweet and helpful lady, gave us some good tips. The apartment is very cosy, spacious and bright, in an peaceful street and with nice views over the Meadows and the castle. The beds are royal, better than at home :) The 15-minutes walk to the Royal Mile is mostly flat, half through the beautiful park (not dark in the night) and a path with no traffic and half through very pleasant part of the city. It is close to the University, so you meet mostly young people on that way, which is also nice. After 20-minutes walk from the apartment, you can start climbing the Arthur's Seat. We would definitely recommend this place - thank you, Fiona :)
