Alison greeted us warmly and gave us some recommendations in reponse to our questions (where to get a good breakfast etc), then left us to enjoy her lovely little apartment. The location is fantastic - very central - but the apartment is quiet. It had everything we needed and there was milk, juice, tea, coffee and other basics. The bed was comfy with a fantastic big duvet and soft blankets. We were pleased there was no television! If we stay in Edinburgh again we'll be contacting Alison first before looking elsewhere.
