Philippa's place is in a great location in the Edinburgh New Town. Close to restaurants, pubs, cafes, the high street, and certainly within walking distance of any sight seeing.
We stayed shortly after recent renovations, and the place was very clean and comfortable. And, even with the late night and early morning summer sun, the window shutters darkened the rooms for a good night sleep on comfortable beds.
This is a first floor (not ground) space above a restaurant, so depending on your days and your own evening plans, you may experience some city noise.
The kitchen is well stocked for preparing meals. We had a very nice time in Edinburgh while staying at Philippa's place and would recommend others to consider it for their plans.
