We came for the last three days of the Festival and it was perfect. The flat itself is small but beautifully formed, with everything you need, including a large roof terrace - great for chilling out with a cool drink on hot days. Everything in the flat worked flawlessly: wifi, tv, fridge, oven, kettle, microwave etc. It's set in the trendy Stockbridge area, with supermarket, bakery, pubs and restaurants less than a five-minute walk away through handsome streets and across the beautifully flowing Water of Leith. You can also walk to the wonderful Royal Botanical Gardens which had numerous brilliant exhibitions on the day we visited. And of course you can walk into central Edinburgh. It takes about 25 mins, but there's so much great Edinburgh architecture to admire along the way that it doesn't feel like a slog at all. All in all, Simon's place is a perfect getaway and we enjoyed every minute of our stay.
