I had a fantastic stay at Eva's place for two nights in autumn by myself. The apartment is big, bright, and very clean. The extra touches that Eva puts in made it better than most hotels I've stayed in. From extra blankets and a hair dryer in the wardrobe, to everything needed for coffee or tea in the morning. The location is incredible, just a few minutes to Holyrood Park and the Queen's palace at the bottom of Royal Mile. All of the major sites of Edinburgh are easily within walking distance. I never had to take transit, but it was nearby if I needed it. The neighbourhood also felt very safe. Eva was also very helpful in providing suggestions on affordable places to eat and recommended walking routes to make the most out of my stay. I can't recommend Eva's place enough!
