Allan’s place is tucked away and feels very private, but is just a few block walk to restaurants, metro stops, coffee, pubs, etc. We visited during a cold season and the heat in the apartment kept us nice and warm. Several stairs are required to reach the apartment as it’s over a garage, so take note if you have limited mobility. There is a washer (no dryer, but a folding rack) that is available and a separate bedroom with a full size comfortable bed. I’d recommend Allan’s place to a couple visiting Edinburgh who wanted easy access to the city sites!
