Naoko's place is a wonderful basecamp for a stay in Edinburgh. It's spacious and is a mere couple of doors away from the Grassmarket marketplace.
Wifi, towels, soaps, excellent instructions were all superlative.
The view of Edinburgh castle from the bedroom window is really quite great! Conveniently, the bedroom is on the 'inside' of the building, opposite the street-side. This means any late night revelers getting out of bars on Grassmarket are more muffled for lighter sleepers.
I was hoping for a specific type of meal for dinner one evening and after failing to find it via Google, a quick exchange with Naoko gave me the restaurant suggestions I was looking for :)
