This is a truly fabulous rental. It manages to strike exactly the right balance between a loved family home and a comfortable holiday rental. We had everything we needed - and more - and the place had real character. The rooms were large and well-appointed and Valda and Stewart had really thought of everything you could want. They left so much information too on things to do in the area and places to visit. Parking is super easy as there are free spaces within a 10 minute walk but you can park overnight on the street outside if you want. We absolutely loved Stockbridge, which is full of lovely cafes, wine bars and some of the best restaurants we've eaten at in Scotland. We loved the little delis and the artisan coffee and cheese shops but there is a Co-op at the top of the street if you wanted to cater in. The centre of Edinburgh is within easy walking distance and you won't need a car at all during your stay, unless you want to leave the city. Valda and Stewart were quite delightful and couldn't have been more friendly and welcoming. They gave us so many tips on where to go and we really felt like we were borrowing a friend's flat rather than staying in a city rental. Really can't recommend this place more highly - you absolutely won't be disappointed.
