Phil and Vicki’s place was absolutely incredible! Upon arrival, if you are not used to city life, it could be a bit much to take in from the outside (shabby and a bit sketchy) but once you reach the second floor residence, it is safe and has everything that you need. The rooms were spacious and the views were beautiful! The newly remodeled kitchen is absolutely gorgeous. The occupants during our stay were my husband and I and our two children, so the location was great for getting around. We had a stroller for my youngest, but everything we needed or wanted to visit was in walking distance (10-15 minutes). We did visit the castle/tourist/New Town area, but took a 10 minute Uber. I would definitely recommend this space to friends. If we visit Edinburgh again, I would definitely stay with Phil and Vicki again!
