It’s been a strange year. The 2 week camping trip to France had to turn into 4 days exploring Edinburgh with 2 kids who have become reliant on screens for entertainment, so it was brilliant to turn them off, get away and discover Edinburgh as a family.
Liz’s communication from the start was great and when she greeted us at her lovely apartment and had learnt the kid’s names, it made it feel even more special.
The apartment itself was clean, tastefully decorated and full of the little things that you sometimes forget, like soaps or washing up liquid. It felt quiet and safe even though it was just 15 minutes walk into the middle of the city. The car parking and park views making it even more convenient, added to by the Co-op just 80m away.
Liz gave us pointers but generally left us to explore on our own, but was always a very quick text message response away if needed.
We chose the hop on hop off open top bus ticket and the nearer stop was just a 5 minute walk away. It saved little legs from the longer walk into town. They are building an extension to the tram line that will link Edinburgh to Leith and when built, will make it even easier to get from the apartment into the city.
The trip gave us time to discover the castle, Camera Obscura (well recommended), Arthur’s Seat, Portobello beach and Leith.
If you are looking for a convenient place to stay in Edinburgh then Liz’s apartment is highly recommended by us.
