Such a cute cottage in a great location. We chose it for the quiet green space outside the front door and it's walking distance to the city centre. We'd recommend either packing light (or efficiently!) so you don't have to make many trips since there is no parking outside the cottage. we stopped to load / unload about 2 minutes away, and rented a space for the duration of our stay through JustPark (thanks to our hosts for the tip)! We arrived the same day the Queen was lying in state in Edinburgh, and our hosts were really helpful and responsive as we were concerned about navigating through the crowds. The bedroom upstairs is especially cute and very comfortable :-)
