This was the third flat of Pier's that I've stayed in in Edinburgh. Like the others, this one was great - but it was my favorite neighborhood by far! Such a great vibe, with good pubs and restaurants close by. There is even a great Sunday market in the park a block away. It's super close to the Water of Leith walkway, which leads toward the botanic garden on one side and super cute Dean Village on the other. New Town is about a 15 minute walk, but there is a bus stop right outside the flat as well.
