Julie's place was clean, comfortable, and a perfect fit for our needs (4 girls staying 2 nights in Edinburgh). It is in an adorable neighborhood that felt very private and quaint. The location is outside the city center in a residential neighborhood, and we enjoyed our walks to the Royal Mile. However, it did take about 30 min to get to main attractions, which might not be for everyone. But for those who like to walk and take in the sights, it was great!
Julie sent very clear instructions and information to orient us to her apartment. The parking space was a plus, as we had a rental car with us. However, I will warn it is very tight! We spent some real time maneuvering our mid-size rental into the garage, and had to ask a neighbor to move his car in order to get out. Luckily he was home or we would have been stuck! If you have a small, more traditionally European-sized car you should be fine. Just check the measurements ahead of time.
