Clean room, a little cramped for space but OK for a single person. The location is perfect for walking along the Union Canal which runs right across the street. From there it is only a short distance to the Water of Leith walkway via which you can walk in one direction via the historic village of Dean to the Royal Botanical Garden and in the other direction all the way to the Pentland Hills. If you don't like to walk that far, there is a bus stop almost in front of the house from which you can catch every 10 minutes a bus to the centre of the city.
Mary is a wonderful host, very helpful and she prepares a nice breakfast
