What more can I say? Calum's home was literally a 5 to 8 minute walk to Portobello beach. The day we arrived, the beachfront was lively with families, friends and couples enjoying the sun and crisp air. It was a perfect ending to a 10 day vacation in the UK. The apartment was clean and in such a quaint space you had all your amenities were available (dishwasher, washer, stove, etc.). Plus, Calum sends you a guide beforehand that helps with travel. My partner and I did not head into the city centre, so I can't speak on transportation, but we did walk around and there was a great Tapas restaurant we ate at and a local grocery to get certain foods/snacks. We would have liked to stayed a little longer. Great place!
