Isabel is a very welcoming and friendly host. Her lovely home is in a really nice district, Stockbridge, which as others have said has a village feel to it. A manageable walking distance into the centre of town too. You can park for free on the road all weekend from Friday evening, at other times there is free road parking a little further up past Inverleith Park (10 mins walk). The room was cosy and charming, with a large wardrobe, and we had a really comfortable night's sleep. The deli on the corner does good granola and pastries and there's a tiny but excellent Thai eatery/takeaway in Stockbridge. Also a great little outdoor market on Sunday morning. We had everything we needed for a couple of nights stay. A lucky find - thanks Isabel!
