We chose Sam’s place because we wanted to base ourselves away from the city centre but in an area with its own feel and lots on offer. Also because after reading reviews I hoped we would get a good restful sleep at Sam’s, which we did. The bedroom and bathroom were great, clean and calm. The power shower is amazing. Sam’s flat is conveniently situated off the main road overlooking the river but 2 minutes walk to the us stop for city Centre and also to Aldi which was perfect for getting provisions. Sam is a great, thoughtful kind person who seems to have thought of everything to make his guests feel welcome and comfortable. His kitchen is well equipped so good of you want to cook for yourself. There are also many good eateries and bars very close by. We walked to Carton Hill and then onto Old City. Another day we walked along the waters of Leith to New Town. All good. And the buses are regular too. If you book to stay at Sam’s you will not be disappointed! Highly recommend!
