Brendan's spot was exactly what we needed on New Years Eve. In the midst of renovations, but one bed in the front room and one loft in the back. Thirty minutes walk along the A1 right to the heart of Princes St, with a great view of Arthur's Seat, Holyrood Palace, and Carlton Hill along the way. After Hogmanay, a great stroll home with the city lit up. Definitely pop up Carlton Hill around dusk for the view.
