The flat is beautifully furnished and bright and spacious with lots of flowering pot plants and a lovely garden. We felt at home right away. The location was perfect for us. The Stockbridge Colonies are a little outside of the main tourist paths of Edinburgh and quietly residential, but within easy walking distance there are many attractions such as the Water of Leith Walkway, the Botanic Garden, the Glenogle Baths right next door, Stockbridge itself, Dean Village, the New Town... The bus frequency to Princes Street is also very good. We would definitely return to Amanda's flat, if available, next time!
