We had a great stay at Mike's in Edinburgh. Our room was spacious and the en-suite bathroom very new and clean. The house is big and even though there are so many guest rooms you only hear the others occasionally, we were not disturbed. The place is a 30-40 minute walk from the city centre along one of the main roads, we first walked it but eventually took the bus (a day ticket is only 4GBP) as that is quicker and less tiring. Bus connections are very good and you get everywhere easily. On the way towards the city centre there are two bigger cafes/restaurants that I would recommend for breakfast and lunch or dinner: Southpour and The Apiary, both very nice and yummy places. Mike's place is very good value for Edinburgh despite the walking distance to the city. I would recommend it!
