We had a fantastic stay at Philips place. Cosy, good location and very spacious. Its about a 30 min walk to the Royal Mile but it's really easy and wakes you up in a morning. The tesco express right outside is great for the odds and ends you need. The kitchen was great but if you want to properly cook I would take a wok or casserole type dish to be able to rustle up a curry or a stir fry (perhaps Philip could provide one) but we are probably a bit weird as we do like to cook and chill over a bottle of plonk.
But that is such a minor detail when everything else was fantastic. If we come back to Edinburgh for another short break we will be looking to see if Philips place is free. Thanks for making our trip brill.
