In what used to be a lane for the servants you now find this- and as it appears many other- substantially refurbished housing. Built almost into the lane, into a former backyard, the remaining part of which is now a lovely terraced garden, where we had breakfast and tea in the sun. In the apartment we didn't miss a thing, if we couldn't sit outside we took our meals on the stools in the kitchen. It's amazing, how everything is arranged on four levels, linked by steep stairs. Due to the high surrounding buildings the location is very quiet, although there's major streets around the corner. You can walk over the hill to Princess street, but there is much to see just a couple of steps away, Stockbridge with picturesque lanes and the Water of Leith for instance. Busses to nearly everywhere are nearby, frequent and cheap.
