We have visited before: such a lovely room in a gorgeous flat in the most interesting, quiet residential part of Edinburgh (Georgian New Town). Just round the corner though is a thriving street with many varied cafes and restaurants, which is just right for a stroll and an evening meal out. In the flat, the bed is comfortable; just great for sitting up and reading as well as for a good night's sleep. The private bathroom gleams and the shower is efficient and relaxing. The buffet breakfast, which we didn't really expect, was well laid out for us with a variety of food; fruit, yogurt, cereal, toast, juice, coffee or tea.
Everywhere in the historic city is accessible from the flat on foot, but buses are plentiful too. Neil's advice is spot on. He quickly understands his guests interests and needs (ours are cultural, as well as foody) and is great at making good suggestions. We walked to the Botanic Garden this time, on one of the hottest days of the year, and it was so beautiful to relax there for the day. Neil is a great host: his conversation is stimulating and respectful. We will be back again, I'm sure.
