I enjoyed my stay in Kathy's cozy family home. As I personally prefer more quiet areas on my travels, the location was just right for me. It takes only 10 minutes by bus to the city centre. If you like walking, you can also simply walk through the Holyrood Park past the Holyrood Palace and Parliament into the city when the weather is fine - just a beautiful walk!
The house itself is a bit thin-walled - which you might notice when Kathy's son, who is a wonderful and polite boy by all means, is playing or jumping on the floor in the living room above the guest room. Remember that you are in a family home and simply bring earplugs.
Most memorable was Kathy's hospitality, warmth and helpfulness. I could always help myself with coffee or tea in the kitchen. Having travelled a lot herself, she gave me invaluable advice to travel even further north in Scotland and suggested a great route. I have not regretted it - it has been one of the most beautiful itineraries in the UK so far and I cannot thank her enough for her advice.
Should I ever come back to Edinburgh, I would definitely try to get back to Kathy's house. Thanks again Kathy!
