I stayed at Jacquie's place with two other friends of mine. We lived there for 4 months and we had a really nice stay. The flat is really spacious (especially the kitchen and the living room), tidy, well equipped and furnished. Shimon (jacquie 's husband) is really kind, he changed for us the fridge the day after it broke up and he was always available for every kind of problem. The area and the neighborhood are lovely. The house is situated just in front of Holyrood park (Arthurs seat), well connected to the city center and portobello beach thanks to many buses which stop just crossed the street. It takes around 20 min to get to the city center by bus and 25 walking. There is a good shopping center just down the road with a big Salisbury's, Poundland and others. The most convenient way to get there from the airport is taking the bus number 35 that stops 10 mins walking from the house.
Recommended for every type of stay
