The flat is in a great location, about ten minutes walk from the station. There were plenty of restaurants close by but with the town centre only a fifteen minute walk away, there was a fantastic choice of places to eat out. It is possible to visit all of the main attractions on foot, we didn't take a car and only used public transport once, to visit the zoo. We did stay in a couple of evenings after we'd exhausted ourselves during the day, and there was everything we needed to self cater. The flat was a good size with both bedrooms being substantial double rooms and despite being a basement flat, felt very light and airy. If I were to visit Edinburgh again, I would definitely consider staying here again.
