Stayed here for a week, and thoroughly enjoyed my stay. The location is excellent: you can walk through the park to easily get to the city, although for the less adventurous the bus stop is less than 5 minutes walk away and there are buses aplenty. The view from the room is great, I spent some time watching folks walking and playing with their dogs! Michael is an excellent host, and very knowledgeable of the Edinburgh area, and Scotland in general. Great value for money, great view from the room, very close to everything: what more do you need? :-)
