I highly recommend Lilian's flat to both tourists and those who need to spend a few nights in Edinburgh. it is small, but comfortable, fully equipped and sparkling. it is 10-15 min on foot from the centre, as well as to the train station and the airport bus's stop. in addition, it is close to the University's main campus, so there are loads of shops, cafes and bars. not to mention how close it is to the Meadows! the only potential limitation is that it is on the 3rd floor with no lift.
